The Radical Imagination of Black Women: Ambition, Politics, and Power by Pearl K

Description: The Radical Imagination of Black Women by Pearl K. Ford Dowe Estimated delivery 4-14 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Historically, many Black women have viewed political participation as a means to achieve full equality and improve their status in US society. To this end, Black women have long engaged in politics through activism, voting, mobilization, and seeking office. Since 2016 the number of women, particularly Black women, seeking office has increased dramatically. Including interviews with Black women holding political office at the national, state,and local levels, as well as focus group data, The Radical Imagination of Black Women challenges political sciences current approach to political ambition by exploring how Black women decide to seekpolitical office. Pearl K. Ford Dowe argues that ambition for Black women cannot be measured only by political candidacies and ascents of the political chain of power. Black women are uniquely positioned within their communities to influence politics and public policy, which stems from unique variables of socialization, gender and racial identity, and marginalization that shape the political attitudes of Black women. Thus, Dowe asserts that Black womens political ambition often manifestsoutside formal politics, in activism and community building, a process that is linked to a wider radical vision for a full democracy. This is ambition that occurs in a specific context of marginalization,and both motivation and the conditions surrounding such motivation are critical to understanding the full range of Black womens political work. By focusing on Black womens experiences in elite politics, The Radical Imagination of Black Women is a much-needed intervention in the literature on electoral ambition, women in politics, and candidates and elections.
