Reflective of a deeply committed thinker, her accessible but philosophically complex prose—including essays, lectures, radio scripts, stories, and reviews—addresses issues related to racial, gender, and class justice, war and war crimes; the prison-industrial complex, Jewish culture and diaspora, motherhood, literature, music, cinema, and translation. Many of the selected texts have been forgotten, have fallen out of print, or were never previously published because of conservative Cold War political and gender orthodoxies. \u003ci\u003eThe Muriel Rukeyser Era\u003c\/i\u003e offers new insight into Rukeyser's radical and strikingly contemporary vision for the role of the writer—especially the woman writer. This selection reveals the centrality of feminism, antifascism, and antiracism to her thinking and thus affirms the resonance and urgency of her work today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eEditors' Introduction (by Eric Keenaghan and Rowena Kennedy-Epstein\u003cbr\u003e 1. \u003cbr\u003e 2. \u003cbr\u003e 3. \u003cbr\u003e 4. \u003cbr\u003e 5. \u003cbr\u003e 6. \u003cbr\u003e 7. \u003cbr\u003e 8. \u003cbr\u003e 9. \u003cbr\u003e 10. \u003cbr\u003e 11. \u003cbr\u003e 12. \u003cbr\u003e 13. \u003cbr\u003e 14. \u003cbr\u003e 15. \u003cbr\u003e 16. \u003cbr\u003e 17. \u003cbr\u003e 18. \u003cbr\u003e 19. \u003cbr\u003e 20. \u003cbr\u003e 21. \u003cbr\u003e 22. \u003cbr\u003e 23. \u003cbr\u003e 24. \u003cbr\u003e 25. \u003cbr\u003e 26. \u003cbr\u003e 27. \u003cbr\u003e 28. \u003cbr\u003e 29. \u003cbr\u003e 30. \u003cbr\u003e 31. \u003cbr\u003e 32. \u003cbr\u003e 33. \u003cbr\u003e 34.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cornell University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52681540600088,"sku":"9781501771750","price":21.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-muriel-rukeyser-era-selected-prose-paperback-softback-9781501771750","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
