Set The World On Fire by Keisha N. Blain

Black Nationalist Women and the Global Struggle for Freedom

A sweeping, richly researched history that recovers the vital role Black women played in nationalist and international freedom movements from the antebellum era through the mid-20th century, showing how activists across the United States, the Caribbean, Africa, and beyond built transnational networks, used organizing, writing, diplomacy, and protest to challenge slavery, colonialism, Jim Crow, and sexism, and reshaped debates about race, gender, and empire in the struggle for global liberation.
