Terms of Survival [Paperback]

Judith Ortiz Cofer (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: December 1987

A cultural legacy and a woman's desire "to be released from rituals"--these are the terms that Cofer confronts in her poetic dialectic of survival. Cultural icons, customs and rites of passage take root in an imagery that is lush, tropical and piercing.
