Summary:
Claudia Jones: Beyond Containment transcends the silencing and erasure historically accorded women of achievement: it makes accessible and brings to wider attention the words of an often overlooked twentieth-century political and cultural activist, who tirelessly campaigned, wrote, spoke out, organized, edited and published autobiographical writings, poetry, essays on subjects close to her political heart - human rights, peace, struggles related to gender, race and class - this is a collection that unites the many facets of a woman whose identities as a radical thinker and as a black woman are not in conflict. --Book Jacket.
