Claudia Jones

"This book brings together for the first time the essays, poetry, and autobiographical and other writings of cultural activist Claudia Jones (1915-1964). What is revealed is the voice of a woman who was both politically savvy and brilliant, a feminist with radical ideas that will resonate with today’s readers interested in community empowerment and black nationalism." - editor Carole Boyce Davies' website
