Free Download Anita Kalunta-Crumpton, "Violence against Women of African Descent: Global Perspectives"
English | ISBN: 1498580963 | 2019 | 376 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Africa as a continent, which holds strong to its patriarchal cultural principles and practices, is known for its blatant display of violent abuse of women, including state-sanctioned violence, and its lax approach to national legislative policies and international treaties against violence against women. Using data from Africa, the Americas, Australia, and Europe, this edited collection showcases a variety of experiences and perspectives in the international comparative study of violence against women of African ancestry. This approach provides the context for examining the problem of violence against women, including its policy and practice responses (if any), as it impacts women of African origin in different parts of the world. This book is of value to those interested in African studies, criminology, gender studies, sociology, and many more.

Free Download Luther Adams, "Way Up North in Louisville: African American Migration in the Urban South, 1930-1970"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 146961894X, 080783422X | EPUB | pages: 288 | 2.4 mb
Luther Adams demonstrates that in the wake of World War II, when roughly half the black population left the South seeking greater opportunity and freedom in the North and West, the same desire often anchored African Americans to the South. Way Up North in Louisville explores the forces that led blacks to move to urban centers in the South to make their homes. Adams defines "home" as a commitment to life in the South that fueled the emergence of a more cohesive sense of urban community and enabled southern blacks to maintain their ties to the South as a place of personal identity, family, and community. This commitment to the South energized the rise of a more militant movement for full citizenship rights and respect for the humanity of black people.

Free Download Leo Zeilig, "Voices for African Liberation: Conversations with the Review of African Political Economy"
English | ISBN: 1739985206 | 2024 | 534 pages | EPUB | 381 KB
The human cost of Africa’s longstanding exploitation by foreign imperialist powers within the global capitalist economy are well documented, and today Africa is suffering under the disproportionate impact of the climate emergency. In this context, the imperative of anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist critique for a socialist African future has never been more urgent. Voices for African Liberation presents 38 interviews with African and Africanist socialists conducted by the Review of African Political Economy between 2015 and 2023, bringing to life older voices of liberation and lost radical histories alongside newer initiatives, projects, and activists who are engaged in the contemporary struggles to reshape Africa – to make, win, and sustain a revolutionary transformation in our devastated world.

Throughout much of American history, African Americans have been denied easy access to most of the traditional modes of effective reform, such as newspapers, legislative assemblies, unions and political parties.
