One of Signature's "5 Books that Bring Intersectional Feminism to the Forefront"
"Eloquent Rage follows in the line of classics in the genre..." --The New York Times "[A] proud, energetic reclamation of anger, via memoir and pop cultural analysis... forceful and smart and joyous all at once...It was an inspiration to me." --Rebecca Traister, The Cut "Razor sharp and hilarious. There is so much about her analysis that I relate to and grapple with on a daily basis as a Latina feminist." --America Ferrera "[Eloquent Rage] is distinct both for its telling as the author's own journey and for its--yes--eloquent personal voice, which, between her erudition (she is a professor at Rutgers) and her command of vernacular, is funny, wrenching, pithy, and pointed." --Rebecca Solnit, The New Republic "A dissertation on black women's pain and possibility; an autobiography of a black woman's complicated dance with feminism, overcoming otherness as a big black girl in a skinny-white-girl world, her mother's triumph over violence, and her own journey from disappointment to black joy." --Joy Reid, Cosmopolitan
