Reviews
The survival of these women and their joy makes Home Girls very satisfying. * Essence * A provocative and important new collection. * Ms. * Pungent and varied, full of questions, convictions, and insights. * The Nation * It is fitting that Home Girls also reflects and celebrates the difference, among the [thirty-three] Black feminist writers, critics, and theorists assembled from the United States and the Caribbean, among Black women of all colors, classes, and cultures. More importantly, it reflects and celebrates our connections. * Women's Review of Books *
Pungent and varied, full of questions, convictions, and insights.
