Foreword by a premier contemporary writer pays homage to her literary predecessor-both are Carribean immigrants. First serial of Edwidge Danticat foreword in Essence Magazine. Beautiful new edition gives bookstores the opportunity to re-feature this perennially popular title. A true classic that just keeps finding new markets: first generation of readers now buying it for their children. The Feminist Press's republication 25 years ago saved this classic from being lost. Norton Anthology of African-American Literature describes Brown Girl, Brownstones as "the beginning of contemporary African-American women's writing." Spectacular reviews of first edition: Dorothy Parker in Esquire, The New Yorker, and The New York Times Book Review:"Remarkable for its colorful characters, the cadence of its dialogue, and its evocation of a still lingering past."
