Trances, Dances and Vociferations provides a compelling feminist
analysis of gender politics in the works of four major Africana
women writers: Toni Morrison, Michelle Cliff, Assia Djebar, and
Paule Marshall. Nada Elia explores the way in which black women
characters use conjuring, double entendre, and song to empower,
liberate and determine their own female insurgency. She also
explains how African and Afrodiasporic women have been forced to
rewrite history and substitute a communal and individual wholeness
for alienation and separation in many different settings, from
Algeria to Oklahoma. Ranging over works including Marshall's
Praisesong for the Widow, Djebar's A Sister to Scheherazade,
Cliff's No Telephone to Heaven and Morrison's Jazz and Beloved,
Elia offers essential and provocative insights into the works of
some of our most influential Africana women authors today.
