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 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
Hi Vicky. I found your shelf because you have Bitch in the House. You also have a couple of other books that would go well on the Mommy Lit group I have started. Would you like to join our group?
great shelves, Vicky! I added some of your bools to my wish list! And now my wish list is two pages long -- I have to stop looking at other peoples shelves -- how am I ever going to read sll these books? :)Don't be intimidated by my shelves -- I read VERY quickly and I don't often reread books (Diana Gabaldon is an exception). Plus I generally only retain the gist of the book -- main character, plot line, the main idea in nonfiction -- if I want to talk about the book, I usually have to look at it again to make sure I'm talkiing about the right thing. I envy people who can make a book part of them, if you know what I mean.What did you think of Trans-Sister Radio? It looks interesting.Aimee
Thanks for the note!Have you ever read, The Freedom Writers Diary?
Thanks for adding me to your friend list. We've read a lot of the same books. I just finished Thirteen Moons (great!) and am looking for my next great read. Any suggestions?
I just found this site and was looking around. I noticed that we've read a lot of the same stuff AND that you're in Amherst, which is where I went to school (UMASS '91). Do you got to school there?Happy reading!Aimee
