Abstract
Anne Gray Fischer’s The Streets Belong to Us makes an important contribution to the growing historiography of post-1970’s feminism in the United States. Her final chapter deftly explores the rise of what she calls “dominance feminists” who allied with police departments in their campaigns against commercial sex. However, this alliance overlooked the realities of on-the-ground policing and exacerbated the marginalization of Black women. Fischer’s analysis underscores the importance of centering Black women’s experiences and engaging with communities impacted by police harassment to inform more inclusive and effective feminist strategies.
期刊介绍：
The editors of Journal of Urban History are receptive to varied methodologies and are concerned about the history of cities and urban societies in all periods of human history and in all geographical areas of the world. The editors seek material that is analytical or interpretive rather than purely descriptive, but special attention will be given to articles offering important new insights or interpretations; utilizing new research techniques or methodologies; comparing urban societies over space and/or time; evaluating the urban historiography of varied areas of the world; singling out the unexplored but promising dimensions of the urban past for future researchers.
