In this, her first collection of nonfiction, Alice Walker speaks out as a black woman, writer, mother, and feminist in thirty-six pieces ranging from the personal to the political. Among the contents are essays about other writers, accounts of the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the antinuclear movement of the 1980s, and a vivid memoir of a scarring childhood injury and her daughter’s healing words.
I've read a few of these, particularly ones about writers (thanks for introducing me to Rebecca Jackson, she sounds fascinating); they're clear and thought-provoking and I think they'll be memorable.
