In spite of the invisibility that this framework imposed on activist women, the history of this movement belies accounts that relegate women to the margins of American radicalism and mixed-sex political efforts. Motivated by a strong egalitarianism, radical pacifist women rejected separatist organizing strategies and, instead, worked alongside men at the front lines of the struggle to construct a new paradigm of social and political change. Their compelling examples of female militancy and leadership challenge the essentialist association of female pacifism with motherhood and expand the definition of political action to include women's political work in both the public and private spheres. Focusing on the vexed alliance between white peace activists and black civil rights workers, Mollin similarly details the difficulties that arose at the points where their movements overlapped and challenges the seemingly natural association between peace and civil rights.\u003cbr\u003e Emphasizing the actions undertaken by militant activists, \u003ci\u003eRadical Pacifism in Modern America\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the complex relationship between gender, race, activism, and political culture, identifying critical factors that simultaneously hindered and facilitated grassroots efforts at social and political change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e List of Acronyms and Abbreviations\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1: The War for Total Brotherhood\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 2: The Peacemakers' Alternative Vision\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3: Familialism and the Struggle Against the Bomb\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4: Reviving the Compact of Brotherhood\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5: Reversing the Traditional Pattern\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 6: No Bars to Manhood\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\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 Pennsylvania Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555709645080,"sku":"9780812239522","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/radical-pacifism-in-modern-america-egalitarianism-and-protest-hardback-9780812239522","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
