I read an eclectic mix of things. I studied an eclectic mix of things in college - African-American Studies, Science Fiction, Cultural Studies, Science Studies, etc. - and so my reading tends to reflect that.

    Hello dear member of the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group! It's J., the admin., and I'm writing to inform you of the group's new look! (And it goes beyond the change in our group picture, though it is nice, don't you agree?) :) What we're discussing now: Patricia Hill Collins' Black Feminist Thought, Toni Morrison's Sula for our July read, our little BIG Read: 7 short stories in 7 days to begin later this month, the National Black Arts Festival where Alice Walker and Pearl Cleage are featured speakers, and more!

    We'll soon have a group blog up and running, will begin profiling the uberly dynamic authors within our own group, discussing women's/girls action coalitions in your city, reviving some of our good ol' threads, etc.

    I challenge everyone to invite at least one friend (already a member of shelfari or otherwise) to join the Black Feminist/Womanist Literature group and to log in at least bi-weekly. (Though weekly would be wonderful!) And I pledge to do the same.

    And did you know that Toni Morrison's new novel, A Mercy, is due to be released in November? Ah, you would if you'd visited our group page! (No, actually, I haven't posted this information. lol) But do stop by and fall into the purple haze that is extraordinary literature by feminists of color!

    Love, Jaya

    Thanks for the note on my review of DH! *wry* I kind of wish Rowling would have stuck with just writing a black-and-white book, and not tried to make things grey.

    Lucky you! There's a copy in one of the libraries where I teach, but... it just happens to be the non-circulating facility which is currently being retrofitted, which means no access. I could weep. ;)

    Hi!

    Your profile says you're in Atlanta -- so can i ask you a question?

    We are moving to Atlanta, well Fort McPherson, in May and as a book lover, I just have to ask -- where are the best bookstores in Atlanta?

    Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks!
    Aimee
