Reviews
The author offers a clear meaning of spirituality and its application to our lives (is academics, and she does something that no other writer has done: she shows how and why transformation is needed in the academy, for the academician. Dillard journeys between Ghana and the United States, but she settles in a place of peace and clarity that opens its door to all of us. At a time when academicians across the disciplines are wondering what happened to the soul of the academy, we need this book. At a time when feminist scholarship is losing currency, we need this book. Dillard's work is inspiring, filled with hope, humor, and humility. Like a skilled weaver, she has brought together the strands of spirituality, Black feminist theory, and feminist thought and created a cloth that is bold in color, strong, and enjoyable for those during enough to try it on.
