"She wrote about gut issues: the lives of ordinary Black people, violence, loving women, the legacy of her African American heritage, being queer. Both in her personal life and as a political activist she linked the struggles for racial, gender, sexual, and class equality long before it was PC to do so.. "This new, expanded edition of Movement in Black - containing previously unpublished work - honors Pat Parker and calls attention to the significance of her contributions.
