About this book
Gladys L. Mitchell-Walthour offers a comparative analysis of how Black women social welfare beneficiaries in Brazil and the United States defy systems of domination. She argues that poor Black women act as political subjects in the struggle to survive and challenge daily discrimination even in dire circumstances.

Reviews
Ollie A. Johnson III, coeditor of Comparative Racial Politics in Latin America:
The Politics of Survival offers a seamless combination of strong theory, sound methodology, and rich empirical evidence. Mitchell-Walthour anchors her analysis in Black feminist theory thereby centering Black women as the main subjects and using an intersectional approach to highlight the complex reality of poor Black women’s lives.
