Representing an international gathering of scholars, Fields Watered
with Blood - now available in paperback - constituted the first
critical assessment of the full scope of Margaret Walker's literary
career. As they discuss Walker's work, including the landmark
poetry collection For My People and the novel Jubilee, the
contributors reveal the complex interplay of concerns and themes in
Walker's writing: folklore and prophecy, place and space, history
and politics, gender and race. In addition, the contributors remark
on how Walker's emphases on spirituality and on dignity in her
daily life make themselves felt in her writings and show how
Walker's accomplishments as a scholar, teacher, activist, mother,
and family elder influenced what and how she wrote. A brief
biography, an interview with literary critic Claudia Tate, a
chronology of major events in Walker's life, and a selected
bibliography round out this collection, which will do much to
further our understanding of the writer whom poet Nikki Giovanni
once called "the most famous person nobody knows."
