They examine pivotal moments in African American history when race and gender issues collided with explosive results. Along the way, they present the testimonies of a large and influential group of Black women and men, including Byllye Avery, Derrick A. Bell, Farai Chideya, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Michael Eric Dyson, Marcia Gillespie, bell hooks, and Faye Wattleton. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFearless and eye-opening, \u003ci\u003eGender Talk\u003c\/i\u003e is required reading for anyone concerned with the future of African American women--and men.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnnetta B.
