Abstract:Black women bore scars of the routine violence that plagued them in the Jim Crow South from girlhood on. Their encounters with state and sexual violence shaped their resistance to white supremacy and the very ways they thought about nonviolence and self-defense. Drawing on works in black women’s and civil rights history, this essay foregrounds women well-known and lesser-known—from North Carolinian Mabel Williams to Mississippi café-owner Henrietta Wright—to explore how their vision of activism emerged from both black political tradition and everyday experience. This history offers context and guide to contemporary Black women activists who continue to challenge state violence as it has evolved and mutated.

“法律伤害了我”暴力、侵犯和黑人妇女争取民权的斗争

摘要:黑人妇女从少女时代开始就在 Jim Crow South 遭受日常暴力的折磨。他们与国家暴力和性暴力的遭遇塑造了他们对白人至上的抵制以及他们对非暴力和自卫的思考方式。这篇文章借鉴了黑人妇女和民权历史上的作品,突出了知名和鲜为人知的女性——从北卡罗来纳州的梅布尔·威廉姆斯到密西西比州咖啡馆老板亨丽埃塔·赖特——探索她们对激进主义的看法如何从黑人政治传统和日常体验。这段历史为当代黑人妇女活动家提供了背景和指导,她们继续挑战国家暴力的演变和变异。
