the author's creative genius and heroism. Born in Eatonton, GA, in
1944, a daughter of sharecroppers, Alice Walker has lived a
remarkable and courageous life, and she continues to do so as an
elder. Taking inspiration from her great-great-great-great
grandmother who lived enslaved in the American South and died at
age 125, Walker's activism stems from a philosophy that embraces
all life and expresses itself through courageous truth-telling, a
resolute stand for freedom, and radical love. Alice Walker: A Woman
for Our Times offers a full examination of the intellectual
underpinnings of Walker's life and her oeuvre from a philosophical
standpoint. This philosophical biography draws a portrait of the
author that reveals the nuances of her character, clarifies the
relationship between her life experiences and her lifework, and the
philosophical thought that underlies both. This work will be
essential reading to those interested in Black studies, women's
studies, the Civil Rights and Black Arts movements, peace studies,
the American South, philosophy, psychology, sociology, spirituality
and New Age literature, and ecology and eco-feminism. Represents
the only biography that offers a philosophical examination of this
