Autorenporträt
Kathleen Thompson is co-author with Darlene Clark Hine of A Shining Thread of Hope: The History of Black Women in America and co-editor with Hilary Mac Austin of The Face of Our Past: Images of Black Women from Colonial America to the Present. She also co-authored, with Andra Medea, the feminist classic Against Rape (1974). With Diane Epstein, she co-authored Feeding on Dreams, an expose of the diet industry, published in 1994. Thompson was a major contributor to Black Women in America and is editor-in-chief of Encyclopedia of Black Women. She has worked for the past twenty years in education and publishing and is the author of more than one hundred books for juveniles, including Portrait of America, a 53 volume set of books to accompany Turner Broadcasting's television series of that name. She was also co-founder and, for a number of years, president of a Chicago educational development house, Sense and Nonsense, Inc. She has received numerous awards for her work, including Best Books for Youth from the ALA in 1974 and the Gold Camera Award from the U.S. Industrial Film Festival, but the one she treasures most is the ban on Against Rape by the apartheid government of South Africa. Hilary Mac Austin is co-editor with Kathleen Thompson of The Face of Our Past: Images of Black Women from Colonial America to the Present. She was the photo researcher for A Shining Thread of Hope: The History of Black Women in America by Kathleen Thompson and Darlene Clark Hine (1996); the American Jewish Desk Reference (2000); and Jewish Women in America: An Historical Encyclopedia (1998). Austin has been a writer and photo researcher for ten years, working with the Philip Lief Group; Sense and Nonsense, Inc.; Visual Education Corporation; SRA (Science Research Associates); Bantam/Doubleday/Dell; Carlson Publishing; and others. Her favorite project of the last few years was acting as technical director for a production of Hamlet in Rwanda under the auspices of the International War Crimes Tribunal.
