In Signifyin' Me: New and Selected Poems, Jamie Walker, noted journalist and
poet, celebrates the Black women's literary tradition, a tradition comprised of
what feminist scholar Patricia Hill Collins calls "a legacy of struggle" and
"culture of resistance." Walker tackles issues of internalized racism and
sexism. Her work not only explores the inextricable link between gender, race,
and class, but also women's politics and spirituality. Signifyin' Me is a
deeply empowering book that is both a testimony to the spirit and passion of
the soul. |
