"Under Construction": Identifying Foundations of Hip-Hop Feminism and Exploring Bridges between Black Second Wave and Hip-Hop Feminisms /Peoples, Whitney A. --Notes on Contributors --IndexNo Permanent Waves boldly enters the ongoing debates over the utility of the "wave" metaphor for capturing the complex history of women's rights by offering fresh perspectives on the diverse movements that comprise U.S. feminism, past and present. Seventeen essays--both original and reprinted--address continuities, conflicts, and transformations among women's movements in the United States from the early nineteenth century through today. A respected group of contributors from diverse generations and backgrounds argue for new chronologies, more inclusive conceptualizations of feminist agendas and participants, and fuller engagements with contestations around particular issues and practices. Race, class, and sexuality are explored within histories of women's rights and feminism as well as the cultural and intellectual currents and social and political priorities that marked movements for women's advancement and liberation. These essays question whether the concept of waves surging and receding can fully capture the complexities of U.S. feminisms and suggest models for reimagining these histories from radio waves to hip-hop.FeminismUnited StatesHistoryFirst-wave feminismUnited StatesSecond-wave feminismUnited StatesThird-wave feminismUnited StatesFeminismHistory.First-wave feminismSecond-wave feminismThird-wave feminism305.420973Hewitt Nancy A.1951-677592MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810392703321No permanent waves3963707UNINA
