Unknown Author

4.9/5 (29119 ratings)

Description:Inspired by the horrors of the Greensboro Massacre, Cris South penned Clenched Fists, Burning Crosses as part of the noted Feminary collective. The book, a thinly fictionalized representation of her own life and activism, centers on Jessie, a working-class printer whose antiracist and anti-Klan activism come to the attention of Klan members, with harrowing results. Jessie’s story mirrors that of the author’s and offers a vision of what multiple intersectional coalitions of oppressed people look lesbian feminists, Black activists, and, perhaps most memorably, a woman who confronts her abuser swinging an axe, Lizzie Borden style, to reclaim her agency.Although Jessie’s suffering—and the suffering of the women around her—is stark in its realism, the book ends with a celebration of both resistance and love. This is the novel’s distinctive it refuses abjection and claims the healing power of political resistance and coalition.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
