The Combahee River Collective, a path-breaking group of radical black feminists, was one of the most important organizations to develop out of the antiracist and women's liberation movements of the 1960s and 70s.

In this collection of essays and interviews edited by activist-scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, founding members of the organization and contemporary activists reflect on the legacy of its contributions to black feminism and its impact on today's struggles.

Intriguing, quick read

Onterview style. I listened on audio had the same voice for both parts, so sometimes it was hard to tell who was speaking.

Interview-style books are always a bit surface-level at times, but for what this one was, I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed hearing about the founders of the Combahee River Collective.

Intriguing, quick read.
