Sommario/riassunto |
|
Between 1877 and 1930 African American activists promoted an array of strategies for progress and power built around "racial destiny," the idea that black Americans formed a collective whose future existence would be determined by the actions of its members. , Michele Mitchell examines the reproductive implications of "racial destiny". |
