Wells, Malcolm X y Harvey Milk. Su enfoque especÃfico en estas mujeres lÃderes y activistas de derechos civiles, que se negaron a verse constreñidas por el género, la raza y la clase, desvÃa la atención de los grandes hombres de la historia y la sitúa únicamente en aquellos que han transformado sus vidas personales en una lucha por derechos colectivos. objetivos. Con un enfoque interdisciplinario que analiza la literatura, el cine y los estudios culturales, Mujeres activistas y lÃderes de derechos civiles en la literatura y el cine autobiográficos sostiene que la escritura de la vida es una fuente clave de creatividad artÃstica y activismo que nos permite echar una nueva mirada a la historia. . . |

Summary : |
This collective book offers new insight on the genres of biography and autobiography by examining the singular path of those deemed to be 'outsiders', such as Winnie Mandela, Ida B. Wells, Malcolm X and Harvey Milk. Its specific focus on these female leaders and civil rights activists, who refused to be constrained by gender, race and class, shifts attention away from the great men of history and places it solely on those who have transformed their personal lives into a fight for collective goals. With an interdisciplinary approach that looks at literature, cinema and cultural studies, Women Activists and Civil Rights Leaders in Auto/Biographical Literature and Cinema argues that life writing is a key source of artistic creativity and activism which enables us to take a fresh look at history. . |
