This book examines how cultural and ideological reactions to
activism in the post-Civil Rights Black community were depicted in
fiction written by Black women writers, 1965-1980. By recognizing
and often challenging prevailing cultural paradigms within the
post-Civil Rights era, writers such as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker,
Toni Cade Bambara, and Paule Marshall fictionalized the black
community in critical ways that called for further examination of
progressive activism after the much publicized 'end' of the Civil
Rights Movement. Through their writings, the authors' confronted
marked shifts within African American literature, politics and
culture that proved detrimental to the collective 'wellness' of the
community at large.
