Abstract
AbstractIn 1999, Leith Mullings and I were having dinner at one of her favorite restaurants on the Upper West Side, after a long day working on a book about the Harlem Birth Right Project. Leith reflected on the lives of Black women that we were documenting and the impact of their continued, systematic exposure to structural and intersecting inequalities. Leith remarked that Black women need not be characterized as “marginalized”; rather, Black women’s experiences placed them at the vanguard of experiencing the material consequences of a rapidly accelerating and expanding capitalist system. What Black women experienced and resisted was what would eventually be felt by others forced under by the inexorable tidal wave of neoliberal capitalist forces. Her words would prove to be prophetic.
