Black Women's Literature of the Americas: Griots and Goddesses - Paperback

by Tonia Leigh Wind (Author)

Drawing on a range of historical and literary texts, this book examines how Black women under the yoke of slavery negotiated their sense of belonging and spirituality from a liminal position, stuck between a new life in the Americas, and their connections to their African ancestral roots and a wider diasporic community.
