This is the first book I've read with an exciting introduction. With the controversies surrounding Walker over the years it is great to see her evolution of thought in tandem with her life experience. Not every chapter holds you spellbound, but the ones that do, really do.

10/07/10 18* of the 19 chapters of "The World Has Changed",(Pgs 35-322)(*exclusive of Chapter 13 which has several paragraphs preceded by topic captions) have a 'diversity of questions' which don't make for 'too much repetition', although they're all interviews of the same interviewee, author Ms Alice Walker...(Mr Rudolph P. Byrd,whose interview is Chapter 19, is also the book's editor)..The book covers interviews done from the years 1973-2009...;It also contains(Pgs 327-331): brief profiles of the many interviewers:(surnames : Allende,Bolen,Byrd,Bring,Chodron,Dreifus,Ferris,Galloway,Giddings,Goodman,Hoy,Jefferson,O'Brien,Schnall,Simon,Swick,Tate,Toms,White,and Zinn).There is a Chronology, 'several poems throughout', an index captioned: "An Index of People and works" and several photos in the 'Introduction section(Pages 1-34)'.
