Black Women's Lives

Kristal Brent Zook
February 2006     ISBN: 1560257903

Kristal Brent Zook has spent the past decade traveling across America, interviewing and building relationships with a diverse array of African-American women: a farmer in Vermont, a filmmaker in Los Angeles, a catfish worker and union organizer in Mississippi, an AIDS activist in Florida, a New York City corporate executive, and inmates in a Seattle prison.

This innovative book tells of heartbreak and triumph, courage and pain. It offers an insightful look not just at African-American women, but also at the society in which they live.
