Domale Dube draws on interviews and participant observation to tell the long-ignored story of how women carved out a role in the Ogoni pursuit of justice. \u003cp\u003e Dube’s account examines and documents the issues that drew women into the movement, from concerns for themselves and their communities to grander visions for the Ogoni. As she shows, these issues not only influenced organizing in Nigeria but also the diaspora in general and the United States in particular. Ogoni women relied upon nonviolent protest to realize their aims. Dube looks at their campaigns and how their actions reflected their concerns, values, interests, and priorities. The result is a rare account of Black women and transnational organizing for women’s, climate, and environmental justice that merges a history of their involvement with an in-depth analysis of the racial, gender, and ethnic dimensions of the Ogoni Struggle. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e Acknowledgments \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Introduction \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ogoni Women in the Precolonial and Colonial Eras \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Formation of FOWA \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ogoni Feminist Epistemology and Education \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ogoni Women’s Nonviolent Resistance \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Trauma, Healing, and Ogoni Women Immigrants’ Transnational Organizing \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Conclusion \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e References \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Index \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52656118694168,"sku":"9780252088650","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/ogoni-womens-activism-the-transnational-struggle-for-justice-against-big-oil-and-the-state-paperback-softback-9780252088650","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
