This review is from: Afrekete: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Writing (Paperback)
avjaah@aol.com Sacramento, Ca As a sister who has read feminist writing, lesbian writing and African American authors, I find this anthrology a timely and long overdue dessert. Although I had already read the pieces by A. Lorde, this anthology puts them within a historical framework and literature genre. This anthology is the first light of a newly created literary constellation. A constellation that has only been whispered about and reviewed in dark corners. The writing is fresh, personal, insightful and witty as it explores the oftentimes harsh, lonely, and perplexing paradoxes of not only being Black and female but also lesbian. We all have stories in us and these writers have searched their souls to bring to the sunlight their many pains on their journey to self healing and growth. Write on Sisterfriends! Thank you for your truth!

This review is from: Afrekete: An Anthology of Black Lesbian Writing (Paperback)
Most of the stories here are heartfelt,moving, inspiring. A couple I just couldn't get into..could be just not my type of read, but they left a lot to be desired. The others which is probably about 80 or 90% of the book left you wanting more. Well worth the money.
