Praise for Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around

“Barbara Smith is one of the grand pioneering and prophetic voices of our time. Her truth still hurts and heals!” Cornel West

“This book is a tour de force that documents the life’s work of Barbara Smith and the freedom struggles she shaped.” Duchess Harris, author of Black Feminist Politics from Kennedy to Obama

“Barbara Smith is a creator of modern feminism as a writer, organizer, editor, publisher, and scholar. Now she has added to her decades as an activist outside the system by becoming an elected official who truly listens, represents, and creates bridges to a common good. She has shown us that democracy is a seed that can only be planted where we are.” Gloria Steinem

From the Judy Grahn Award ceremony remarks by Michele Karlsberg, on behalf of the selection committee:
“A profound and timely retrospective of the work of Barbara Smith, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around features a host of well-known writers in conversation with Smith, underscoring her insistence on solving community problems not as individuals but as groups and coalitions. Enhancing these multivocal conversations are photographs and documents demonstrating Smith’s lifelong efforts to create, in both theory and practice, an array of responses to oppressive circumstances—ranging from Black women’s studies to the Combahee River Collective and Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press. The book also expresses her resolve never to treat any one aspect of identity as central while relegating others to the periphery. Sophisticated yet accessible, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around shows us the heart of this dedicated, brilliant activist.”

From the National LGBTQ Task Force remarks regarding the Susan J. Hyde Award for Longevity in the Movement:
“Barbara Smith, an organizer, writer, publisher, scholar-activist, and elected official, dedicates herself to multiple social justice movements, including Civil Rights, feminism, LGBTQ liberation, anti-racism and Black feminism. In four decades of grassroots activism, Barbara has forged collaborations that introduced the concept that oppression must be fought on a variety of fronts simultaneously, including gender, race, class, and sexuality. In 1974, Smith co-founded the Combahee River Collective that produced the Combahee River Collective Statement (1977). Combahee organized around reproductive rights, rape, prison reform, sterilization abuse, violence against women, health care, and racism within the white women’s movement. In 1980, Barbara Smith founded Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press. Kitchen Table published several texts that galvanized feminists of color, such as Home Girls: A Black Feminist Anthology, This Bridge Called My Back, Cuentos: Stories by Latinas, and I Am Your Sister: Black Women Organizing Across Sexualities. Her writings are collected in the anthology The Truth That Never Hurts: Writings on Race, Gender, and Freedom. Her latest book, Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around: Forty Years of Movement Building with Barbara Smith (SUNY Press, 2014), uniquely combines hard-to-find historical documents with new unpublished interviews with fellow activists and scholars to provide an essential primer for practicing solidarity and resistance. Barbara Smith served two terms on the Albany (NY) Common Council, advocating for youth development, violence prevention, and educational opportunities for poor, minority people.”

•  Democracy Now! The Quarantine Report with Amy Goodman – Barbara Smith: the U.S. “Functions with White Supremacy as It’s Engine.” Here’s How We Dismantle It. 
September 11, 2020
Since the police killing of George Floyd in May sparked a nationwide uprising against police brutality, armed white supremacists have taken to the streets of U.S. cities in response to Black Lives Matter protests. Organizing against systemic racism has been met with apparent attempts by the Trump administration to cover up white supremacist violence. We speak to legendary Black feminist scholar Barbara Smith, founder of the Combahee River Collective, about her proposal for an antiracist program called the Hamer-Baker Plan — named for Fannie Lou Hamer and Ella Baker — to eradicate white supremacy in the U.S. “I’m not just talking about white supremacist groups or organized white supremacy,” Smith says. “What I’m talking about is a system that actually dictates and shapes every aspect of life in the U.S.”

Barbara Smith
June 30, 2020

‘Systemic racism’ conveys the pervasiveness of racial oppression, but white supremacy goes further by indicating that there is a rigid nexus of power that protects and enforces it.

“What if there were informational campaigns to develop shared understandings about the ways white supremacy infiltrates every facet of life in the United States: policing, courts, prisons, health care, education, housing, the economy, the environment, religion, science, technology, the arts, sports, and more. Minneapolis City Councilor Andrea Jenkins has called for racism to be declared a public health emergency. What if there were public service announcements, like those we have seen during the pandemic, that provided data, cultural resources, and historical context about the many dimensions of systemic white supremacy as well as steps for challenging it?

What if we launched an initiative on the scale of the Marshall Plan or the space race to eradicate white supremacy? What if it were led by experts with the most detailed knowledge of how white supremacy, in tandem with racial capitalism, operates — that is, poor and working-class people of color? What if these experts partnered with researchers, advocates, and practitioners to provide exhaustive documentation, analysis, and comprehensive recommendations for ending the scourge of white supremacy once and for all? What if . . . ?”
