To Commit and To Lead : Black Women Organizing Across Communities in Montreal
|
| Abstract |
The authors point out that Black community organizing in Montreal has always depended on the commitment and leadership of Black women. They note that the Coloured Women's Club of Montreal, established in 1902, was the city's first Black community organization and laid the foundation for a nexus of Black institutions sustained by a network of dedicated community workers. The authors examine Black women's community work in Montreal during the twentieth century while considering the impact of migration and labour policies and of neo-liberalism on the social, economic and political conditions under which these women organized.
