Irene I. Blea, Ph.D
Dr. Blea has a doctorate degree in Sociology. Her latest book, The Feminization of Racism: Promoting Peace in America, contains a critical review of the early feminist movement's failure to make racism a feminist issue, chapters on the social-history and statistics on Native American, African American, Asian women and Chicanas\Latinas. It basically challenges that 9\11 was the first time Americans were terrorized on their own land.
