The Trouble Between Us: An Uneasy History of White and Black Women in the Feminist Movement

The Trouble Between Us is a must read for those of us (black and white feminists) who participated in the women's movement from the 1960s - 1980s, and for younger feminists (and everyone) who want to understand the historical roots of contemporary feminism. Wini Breines describes, analyses and explains the difficulties of creating a multi-racial women's movement in the US, and why white and black feminists finally achieved some success in working together. Their struggle is model for bringing about cross-racial understanding in the larger society. I loved this book.
