For_Freedom's_Sake:_The_Life_of_Fannie_Lou_Hamer
For Freedom's Sake: The Life of Fannie Lou Hamer is a non-fiction book by Chana Kai Lee, published in 1999 by University of Illinois Press.
Publishers Weekly stated that the work's main focus was aspects of the Civil Rights Movement in the beginning stages and Hamer's development of her activism, instead of being a general biography of Hamer.[1]
Evelyn Hu-DeHart stated that the book puts emphasis on her conflicts with people of higher socioeconomic classes, which made Hamer focus on issues relating to the necessity of gaining financial freedom as opposed to political freedom, as well as on Hamer's political alliance with white left-leaning feminists and the ideological conflicts with said feminists.[2]
