Description
Summary:This article examines African American women's movement in racialized and gendered space in Austin, Texas in the mid twentieth century, reflecting on the relationship between race, gender, power and space. It draws on oral history interviews with African American women to consider how they negotiated the racialized and gendered geography of the city as well as the microspaces - especially downtown clothing stores - that were racialized and gendered in particular ways./U ovom se clanku istrazuje kretanje Afroamerikanki u rasno i rodno odredenom prostoru u Austinu u Teksasu sredinom 20. stoljeca promisljajuci o odnosima izmedu rase, roda, moci i prostora. Clanak se oslanja na metodu usmene povijesti s Afroamerikankama kako bi se razmotrili nacini na koje su one savladavale rasno i rodno odredenu geografiju grada i mikroprostore, posebice trgovine s odjecom u sredistu grada, koji su posebno rasno i rodno odredeni.
