DESCRIPTION:KPFA Radio 94.1FM presents\n\nMelissa Harris-Perry\n"Sister Citizen" - 
 Shame, Stereotypes, and Black Women in America 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.\n\nMelissa Harris-Perry, professor of political science at 
 Tulane University, is founding director of the Project on Gender, Race and 
 Politics in the South.\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 advance tickets:
