    Summary: "A collection of essays taking aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement, arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women"-- Provided by publisher. "Today's feminist movement has a glaring blind spot, and paradoxically, it is women. Mainstream feminists rarely talk about meeting basic needs as a feminist issue, argues Mikki Kendall, but food insecurity, access to quality education, safe neighborhoods, a living wage, and medical care are all feminist issues. All too often, however, the focus is not on basic survival for the many, but on increasing privilege for the few. That feminists refuse to prioritize these issues has only exacerbated the age-old problem of both internecine discord, and women who rebuff at carrying the title. Moreover, prominent white feminists broadly suffer from their own myopia with regard to how things like race, class, sexual orientation, and ability intersect with gender. How can we stand in solidarity as a movement, Kendall asks, when there is the distinct likelihood that some women are oppressing others? In her searing collection of essays, Mikki Kendall takes aim at the legitimacy of the modern feminist movement arguing that it has chronically failed to address the needs of all but a few women. Drawing on her own experiences with hunger, violence, and hypersexualization, along with incisive commentary on politics, pop culture, the stigma of mental health, and more, Hood Feminism delivers an irrefutable indictment of a movement in flux. An unforgettable debut, Kendall has written a ferocious clarion call to all would-be feminists to live out the true mandate of the movement in thought and in deed." -- Publisher's description

    Knowledge of the transplantation immunity has increased rapidly in the past twenty years. The rejection of allograft is now known to involve the interaction of several subsets of lymphocytes, as well as humoral immunity. Efforts to suppress immunity to the allograft are effective but suppress other kinds of immunity also, thus rendering the recipient susceptible to opportunistic infections. Two approaches to modification of the immune response by impairing the ability of cells sensitized specifically against allograft antigen to kill such cells are described. These agents can and have been used therapeutically in humans for other reasons and have been shown in the laboratory to actually markedly prolong the life of renal allograft, without impairing the immune response to other antigens.
