SUMMARY:Hidden Histories with Lisa Levenstein & Shanna Greene Benjamin
DESCRIPTION:Join the discussion with SHANNA GREENE BENJAMIN and LISA LEVENSTEIN  about memory\, the public persona and the private individual\, the biographer/historian’s relationship to her subject(s)\, and the intersectionality of sexism\, racism\, and economic inequality. Benjamin’s Half in Shadow gives a full and surprising picture of the life of Nellie Y. McKay (1930-2006)\, an American literary scholar best known for her collaboration with Henry Louis Gates\, Jr. on The Norton Anthology of African American Literature. McKay\, a Black working-class woman\, kept much of her private life in secret\, creating a public persona as one of many strategies she used to navigate the primarily white male American academy while simultaneously lifting up Black scholarly and literary voices in the academy. Levenstein’s They Didn’t See Us Coming: The Hidden History of Feminism in the Nineties takes a closer look at a time when many (including the cover of Time magazine) declared feminism dead. Instead\, Levenstein uncovers a vital (and overlooked) transition period when multiracial and grassroots organizers across the globe (re)shaped the women’s movement. Hosted by ANN CAHILL.  [rsvp required; see below] \nPurchase books from our official bookseller\, Scuppernong Books\, by clicking book images above. \nDR.
