Publisher's Synopsis
This posthumous collection of short tales, essays, and interviews-edited with a Preface by Toni Morrison-offers indelible proof of Bambara's fervor, lyricism, and rigorous critical intellect. Essays on literature and film, politics and race, and the challenges and requirements of establishing one's identity as an artist, activist, and black woman are also included. Stories of moms and daughters, rebels and seeresses, community organizers and elderly gangbangers are also featured.
