Reviews
In 1967, Georgia Powers became the first woman, and the first African-American woman, to be elected to the Kentucky Senate. Over her 21-year career, Ms. Powers refused to be defined by labels, while having an enormous and continuing effect on Kentucky society. So it is perfectly fitting that Historical Influence: Reading Georgia Powers as a Grassroots Civil Rights Leader in the Rough Business of Kentucky Politics by Anne B. Onyekwuluje also refuses to be defined by labels.Onyekwuluje, a sociologist at Western Kentucky University, has created a new type of work that spans disciplinary boundaries. Historical Influence is at once a historical biography, a work of political science, an exploration of feminism, and an exploration of African-American studies. But throughout it all, sociology provides a defining lens that keeps the work coherent while showing why society and people react in certain ways. Long before the term "Critical Race Theory" came into being, Georgia Powers understood the relationship between racism, sexism, hegemony, and power. While Powers was both a feminist and a civil rights activist, she saw the ramifications of class hegemony on those beyond women and blacks. In one instance, Powers stated: "I was never a miner, but I have lungs . . .so I support Black Lung legislation." In another, she noted that the poll taxes and literacy tests put in place by Jim Crow laws not only affected black people, but also served to keep poor rural whites "in their place" by disenfranchising their right to vote. One fellow senator referred to her as "a force of nature."With solid research and numerous interviews, Anne Onyekwuluje has shined a spotlight on a very unique woman. Georgia Powers served her state well during an important time, and her legacy continues today. Thanks to Onyekwuluje, we can pay tribute to this "force of nature."I heartily recommend this book for all public and academic libraries, as well as for special collections dealing with history, politics, feminist studies, an, By examining the life and work of Georgia Powers in the light of critical race theory and feminism, Anne Onyekwuluje brings an important leader for racial and economic justice back to the forefront where she rightfully belongs., "Anne B. Onyekwuluje's book, Historical Influence is an illuminating, in depth look at the remarkable career of one of my heroes, Georgia Davis Powers. When New Horizon Press published, I Shared the Dream: The Pride, Passion and Politics of the First Black Woman Senator from Kentucky I had the privilege to visit the Kentucky legislature with Georgia and watched as they all stood up to cheer her. Now due to Onyekwuluje's engrossing book, and our own this dynamic woman is rightfully getting recognition for her role in the Civil Rights movement and Kentucky politics." --Joan S.

Synopsis
Historical Influence is a thematic political civil rights history of Senator Georgia Davis Powers. Powers made major contributions to the Commonwealth of Kentucky during the rough business of Kentucky politics-the politics of the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Life history assumes understanding the specific context of one person is paramount. In Powers' twenty-one years as a Kentucky state senator, she championed bills for open housing and labor, and against race, class, sex, education and job discrimination. Senator Powers sponsored and co-sponsored some 147 bills, 75 of which became laws during her tenure. Onyekwuluje provides an in-depth and inspiring story about Powers' role in the fight for equal justice in Kentucky and around the world. She is positioned politically with women like Harriet Martineau and Ida B. Wells in anchoring the truth about rights, responsibility, and humanity. Onyekwuluje connects Powers' life to women issues around the world., Historical Influence is a thematic political civil rights history of Senator Georgia Davis Powers.

- a***s (168)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 個月購買已獲認證I ordered a really hard to find bathroom sink vessel which this seller had and it was apparently in perfect condition according to the photos. The price was right. It was shipped USPS mail and came in a dozen pieces. The package was not labelled fragile and didn't include protective styrofoam. I contacted the seller immediately, sent him a photo and he gave me a refund on the spot. I was sorry I couldn't get another but appreciated his quick attention to the refund.
- m***t (285)- 買家留下的信用評價。過去 1 年購買已獲認證Seller was great deal with. Great communication. The USPS took the item in a tour of the country so it was a week late, but that was the incompetence of the USPS, not the sellers fault. Item was exactly as advertised. Very happy.
