Recenzii
"This is the long-overdue biography of Madie Hall Xuma, who took her social justice work in the Jim Crow U.S. South to South Africa during the height of apartheid. " --Ms.
"An amazing narrative undergirded by unparalleled research on Hall Xuma and the locations in which it takes place. This book allows the reader to immerse themself in life as it was lived in Jim Crow and in apartheid. Despite the fact that it centers on one woman, the author has taken great care to create both of the worlds in which Hall Xuma lived, as well as a non-geographical world of Black women’s affiliations, social service activities, families, and friendships. Hendricks has been ambitious, and it has paid off."--Glenda Elizabeth Gilmore, author of Defying Dixie: The Radical Roots of Civil Rights, 1919–1950
"The Life of Madie Hall Xuma is the long-overdue first biography of a remarkable leader who fought across the global stage for racial justice, gender equity, and human rights in Jim Crow America and apartheid South Africa. Madie Hall Xuma has heretofore been ignored by scholars of American history and known primarily to South Africanists as the second wife of former African National Congress president Alfred B. Xuma, but Hendricks's intimate portrayal of Hall Xuma's compelling transnational political, civic, religious, and domestic life powerfully illustrates the intertwined histories of African and African American women’s political activism across the global color line."--Robert Trent Vinson, author of Albert Luthuli: Mandela before Mandela
"The Life of Madie Hall Xuma: Black Women's Global Activism during Jim Crow and Apartheid makes an invaluable contribution to the body of literature that explores the transnational nature of Black women's activism. . . . The breadth of archival material utilized by Hendricks is extensive, and the book is very well researched." --Journal of Southern History
