Moving Beyond Boundaries (Vol. 1): International Dimensions of Black Women’s Writing

Editor: Molara Ogundipe-Leslie

Paperback

Price: $20.00

Overview

Moving Beyond Boundaries makes a major contribution to our understanding of under-represented literatures by expanding our knowledge about the issues, experiences, and concerns of black women writing in different communities and in a wide range of geographic contexts. It is unique in the fact that it focuses, not only on African-American women’s literature, but on black women’s writing from around the world.
Covering writers from Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Europe, and such well-known authors as Zora Neale Hurston, Nadine Gordimer, and bell hooks, Moving Beyond Boundaries contains both creative and critical writings.
Volume one includes personal reflections, short stories, and essays as well as a large selection of poetry from women from all around the world.

Reviews

"Another in the excellent "Critical America" series edited by critical race theory scholars Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic (both also contributors to this volume), Perea and co-authors tackle the politically contentious and emotionally charged issue of immgrants and immigration. The contributors are united by a critical persprective on the link between immigration and citizenship, and between citizenship and race. They argue persuasively that nativism is a form of American racism." -"Choice",
