Women of Color in U.S. Society cover

Talks about the experience of women of color African Americans, Latinas, Native Americans, and Asian Americans. This work discusses the social conditions that simultaneously oppress women of color and provide sites for opposition. It uncovers similar experiences in the classroom, workplace, family, prison, and other settings.Women of color articulate shared experiences of subordination and survival

"This far-ranging and well-documented book explores race, class and gender as systems of oppression against women of color in the United States....[A]n important addition to the literature of women's studies."
Publishers Weekly

"[T]his collection should be welcomed by all those concerned with issues of race, gender, and class in American society. It presents a wealth of information, data, and analysis in direct, refreshingly jargon-free language, and would make an excellent text for undergraduate courses in sociology, women's studies, and ethnic studies."
Contemporary Sociology


"This book will be extremely important in the growing literature that examines the intersections of race, class, and gender stratification.... The list of contributors includes some of the most significant writers working in this field."
Margaret L. Anderson, University of Delaware
