Editorial Reviews
Review
"A provocative and important new collection." -- MS
"It is fitting that "Home Girls" also reflects and celebrates the difference, among the [thirty-two] Black feminists writers, critics, and theorists assembled from the United States and the Caribbean, among Black women of all colors, classes, and cultures. More importantly, it reflects and celebrates our connections." -- The Women's Review of Books
"Pungent and varied, full of questions, convictions, and insights." -- The Nation
"The survival of these women and their joy make "Home Girls" very satisfying." -- Essence
Product Description
An anthology of writings by black and lesbian activists. First published in 1983, this edition benefits from an updated list of contributor biographies, and a new preface that provides an assessment of how black women's lives have changed - or not - since the book was first published.
