The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks

Overview

A revised edition of the definitive political biography of Rosa Parks featuring a new introduction by the author

Presenting a powerful corrective to the popular iconography of Rosa Parks as the quiet seamstress who with a single act birthed the modern civil rights movement, scholar Jeanne Theoharis excavates Parks's political philosophy and six decades of political work. In The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, Theoharis masterfully details the political depth of a national heroine who dedicated her life to fighting American inequality and, in the process, resurrects an inspiring civil rights movement radical who has been hidden in plain sight far too long. In the new introduction, Theoharis will reflect on materials in the Rosa Parks estate, which will be displayed by The Library of Congress. The materials--available to the public for the first time--furthers our understanding of Parks' personal, financial, and political struggles.
