Book Title: Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around: Forty Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith

Author: Edited by Alethia Jones and Virginia Eubanks

Selection Statement:

This work is an invaluable archival repository of the writings and history of Barbara Smith, a progenitor of black feminism and black feminist publishing. Without it, studying the history of either would be impossible, as her papers at the Lesbian Herstory Archives are not comprehensive. This history is crucial to my research and to the world.
