- Abstract
- In Liberated Threads: Black Women, Style, and the Global Politics of Soul (2017), author Tanisha Ford examines how black women in the latter half of the twentieth century used fashion as a means of protest. In conversations about politics and activism, topics such as government policies and state structures often arise, but rarely that of fashion. Although fashion and politics are often thought to exist separately from one another, Ford proves that the two are intertwined and highlights how black women used clothing in the soul era as a political statement to further advance their views on equality.
