"Pays an impressive tribute to the new renaissance in
African-American literature." --New York Times Book Review "The
cultural and literary achievements of black American women are
examined and celebrated in some 20 enjoyable, erudite essays by
prominent scholars, critics, and activists." --Publishers Weekly
This book is the first comprehensive collection of critical and
theoretical essays to explore the literary and multi-cultural
traditions of Black American women in many genres over a broad span
of time. The essays explore cultural and literary experience in a
wide context and offer a variety of critical theoretical constructs
in which to view that experience. The editors have written
excellent introductions providing both historical and comparative
discussions of the contemporary literary renaissance. The book also
includes a valuable bibliography of selected English-language works
by Black women in the Americas from the 1970s to the present.
