Who are the grassroots warriors on the front lines of the war on poverty? Through in-depth interviews, Nancy Naples presents the voices of over sixty women--African American, Puerto Rican and white European American--who have fought for social and economic justice in the low-income neighborhoods of New York City and Philadelphia. These women, as community workers and activist mothers, contribute vital and often unpaid services to ther communities, offering complex political perspectives and empowering others. Naples reconceptualizes labor, mothering and politics from the standpoint of women committed to work and politically organize on behalf of low income urban communities. Her analysis reveals significant legacies from past social movements, and examines how gender, ethnicity and class influence political consciousness and practice.

Uncanny Congruencies investigates elliptical collisions of association and meaning and offers a nuanced dialogue with its audiences through the seemingly contradictory processes of 18 remarkable alumni of Penn State's School of Visual Arts. The works of these artists intersect, reverse and overlap one another in surprising and satisfying ways.
