First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Paule Marshall, and Mary Prince
represent the best of African American women writers who draw on
the tortuous legacy of their people as a source for their art,
revealing and defining themselves as they create compelling
narratives that illuminate their roots, their heritage, and their
unique culture. The themes that suffuse their writing are family,
community, strong women, cultural memory, oral history, and
slavery. By analyzing the works of these four remarkable writers,
the study shows how today's black woman can take control of her
destiny by coming to grips with an obscured and distorted past.
These original essays articulate the way in which historical
awareness, sensitivity to language, and an understanding of
stereotypes can empower enduring artistic visions in a world that
is largely indifferent to marginal voices.
