Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-13 00:00:00 Ed Solomon I'm more inclined to give this a 7/10, but I can't, therefore the round up. This book traces a brief history of social/class stratification amongst black people during the 19th Century. It then explains the roots and life of the Black Women's Clubs that formed to perform needed political, social, and educational duties for Black people in particular and the United States in general. The author ends the book by displaying how the methodology and practices of the Clubs could (or should) be employed to mitigate the problems of Black social/class stratification that prevent actual and total black liberation. The author states this is to be done w/ mediating efforts which hold the tension of integration and separatism in balance while working for racial justice. It advocates for G*D to be the driving force behind Black people's morality and action rather than pursuit of prestige or upward class mobility.
