DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Blanche Richardson\n\n“Melissa Harris-Perry is one of our most 
 trenchant readers of modern black life.  In Sister Citizen, she gives new 
 life to the idea that “the personal is political. This book will change 
 the conversation about the rights, responsibilities, and burdens of 
 citizenship.”  —Henry Louis Gates, Jr.\nMelissa Harris-Perry, professor 
 of political science at Tulane University, is founding director of the 
 Project on Gender, Race and Politics in the South.\n\nHer previous book, 
 Barbershops, Bibles, and BET: Everyday Talk and Black Political Thought won 
 the W.E.B.Du Bois Book Award and 2005 Best Book Award from the American 
 Political Science Association. She is a columnist for The Nation magazine 
 and regularly appears on MSNBC.  She lives with her family in New Orleans. 
 \n\n“Sister Citizen carefully documents the complex challenges and 
 hurdles black women face in the twenty-first century. Harris-Perry’s book 
 is both insightful and provocative. A must-read for those interested in 
 learning more about American politics. “— Donna Brazile, Political 
 Commentator for CNN & ABC \n\n“Sister Citizen” brings into high relief 
 the continuing struggle for black women to be recognized for who they 
 really are, and makes visible for the first time both the psychological and 
 political costs of that struggle. It is sure to become an instant classic 
 for black women and all feminists, to spark intense debate…and to 
 accelerate the dismantling of barriers to full citizenship for all.\n\n$12
