Jailbreak Out of History: The Re-Biography of Harriet Tubman and \"The Evil of Female Loaferism\"

More about the book

In Jailbreak Out of History, Amazon theorist Butch Lee shows how the anticolonial struggles of New Afrikan/Black women were central to the unfolding of 19th century amerika, both during and "after" slavery. The book's title essay, "The Re-Biography of Harriet Tubman", recounts the life and politics of Harriet Tubman, who waged and eventually lead the war against the capitalist slave system. The second essay picks up the story where The Re-Biography leaves off, showing how New Afrikan women's labor and resistance remained central to how the global class struggle played out in the united states after the white men's Civil War came to an end.
