The Social Construction of Black Feminist Thought

Sojourner Truth, Anna Julia Cooper, Ida Wells Barnett, and Fannie Lou Hamer are but a few names from a growing list of distinguished African-American women activists. Although their sustained resistance to Black women's victimization within interlocking systems of race, gender, and class oppression is well known, these women did not act alone.' Their actions were nurtured by the support of countless, ordinary African-American women who, through strategies of everyday resistance, created a powerful foundation for

It is worth noting the irony that even those most intent on repudiating epistemology on the grounds that traditional epistemological concerns involve claims altogether beyond the possibilities for human knowledge are themselves advancing epistemological claims.

Polity and Group Difference: A Critique of the Ideal of Universal Citizenship

An ideal of universal citizenship has driven the emancipatory momentum of modern political life. Ever since the bourgeoisie challenged aristocratic privileges by claiming equal political rights for citizens as such, women, workers, Jews, blacks, and others have pressed for inclusion in that citizenship status. Modern political theory asserted the equal moral worth of all persons, and social movements of the oppressed took this seriously as implying the inclusion of all persons in full citizenship status under the equal protection of the law. Citizenship for everyone, and everyone the same qua citizen. Modern political thought generally assumed that the universality of citizenship in the sense of citizenship for all implies a universality of citizenship in the sense that citizenship status transcends particularity and difference. Whatever the social or group differences among citizens, whatever their inequalities of wealth, status, and power in the everyday activities of civil society, citizenship gives everyone the same status as peers in the political public. With equality conceived as sameness, the ideal of universal citizenship carries at least two meanings in addition to the extension of citizenship to everyone: (a) universality defined as general in opposition to particular; what citizens have in common as opposed to how they differ, and (b) universality in the sense of laws and rules that say the same for all and apply to all in the same way; laws and rules that are blind to individual and group differences. During this angry, sometimes bloody, political struggle in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, many among the excluded and disadvantaged thought that winning full citizenship status, that is, equal political and civil rights, would lead to their freedom and equality. Now in the late twentieth century, however, when citizenship rights have been formally extended to all groups in liberal capitalist societies, some groups still find themselves treated as second-class citizens. Social movements of oppressed and excluded groups have recently asked why extension of equal citizenship rights has not led to social justice and equality. Part of the answer is

Some Cautionary Words for Historians

EDITOR'S NOTE: Often Signs creates a cross-disciplinary dialogue among feminists simply by publishing articles from a variety of disciplines on adjoining pages. This symposium, however, is an example of a more truly interdisciplinary exchange, as it allows the perspective and knowledge of scholars from a range of fields to bring into focus different aspects of the same issues. Here, too, this meeting of ideas generates real controversy: are there meaningful sex differences in female and male moral development? Interesting as well is a related question: does the style of this forum itself represent a new academic "voice," a break from the maledominated tradition of confrontational debate? The reader will have to decide.CAROL NAGY JACKLIN

Women's Poverty and Women's Citizenship: Some Political Consequences of Economic Marginality

Much of women's political activity-especially their work in community, religious, and labor organizations and their participation in social movements-remains unchronicled and undervalued because it occurs outside the realm of governmental politics. Our attention is rarely drawn even to women's involvement in the more visible political activities that might be called "statist." In the United States during the last decade, three important changes have occurred in women's political interaction with the state. First, women now have substantial clout on election day. They vote in roughly the same proportions as men and thus have, for demographic reasons, a significant advantage in the number of votes cast. Second, women now differ noticeably from men in their opinions on issues, parties, and candidates-a difference the media have labeled the "gender gap." One expression of this gap has been the consistently poorer evaluations that women have given President Ronald Reagan, largely because of his militarism and his lack of commitment to social programs.l

American Indian Women: Telling Their Lives

An important contribution to the fields of Native/American Indian studies and women's studies. Its approach is innovative and suggests wide possibilities for further exploration.--Women's Studies International Forum. This readable and engaging work ...marks a turning point in a developing literature on American Indian women, being a good general summary of all previous work, and making future work more possible...The study of American Indian women not only reveals the fundamental nature of Indian societies, it also provides a perspective for the contemporary women's movement.--Western American Literature. and Sands make a significant contribution to scholars, students, and general readers interested in autobiography, biography, the oral and written tradition of American Indian Literature, literary criticism, history, and ethnographic studies.--North Dakota Quarterly. Indian women's autobiographies have been slighted because of the assumption that women had a secondary and insignificant role in Indian society. Gretchen M. Bataille and Kathleen Mul-len Sands cogently demonstrate in this book the creative vitality of autobiographies that, despite differences in style and purpose, clarify the centrality of women in American Indian cultures. Included is a comprehensive, annotated bibliography or works by and about American Indian women.

Comment on Crocker's "An Analysis of University Definitions of Sexual Harassment"

In her article "An Analysis of University Definitions of Sexual Harassment" (Signs 8, no. 4 [Summer 1983]: 696-707), Phyllis L. Crocker evaluates the definitions of sexual harassment used by academic, professional, and governmental bodies. Her analysis is astute, enlightening, and important. However, she makes no mention of sexual harassment of women professors by their men students.' There is a general lack of awareness of this type of harassment not only in Crocker's work and the official definitions but also in other research on sexual harassment within
