Summary:

The international recognition due to US black women writers is now being given. Alice Walker's winning of the Pulitzer Prize acknowledges what many already know - that the particular experience of black women gives their writing a voice of its own. The interviews and arguments in this book give moving insights into the personal and political world from which that experience comes.
