Reviews
Pamela B. June's writing on the life and works of Alice Walker exemplifies the power and importance of exploring the many perplexing complications that shape the lives and works of complex thinkers and writers. --Lisa Kemmerer, editor of Sister Species: Women, Animals, and Social Justice This study's lucid prose and the clarity of June's engagement with the theoretical influences on Walker render this volume accessible to a broad audience. --R. D. Morrison, Morehead State University, CHOICE The euphoria that animal advocates experienced when Alice Walker published her essay 'Am I Blue' evaporated when Walker declared she was not vegetarian and that the misery she spat out of her mouth in the essay just happened to 'somehow find its way' back in. How does a feminist call a chicken a 'sister, ' yet eat her? June deftly examines the discordant dimensions of Walker's life, art, and thought in this disturbing and illuminating book. --Karen Davis, author of For the Birds: From Exploitation to Liberation; Essays on Chickens, Turkeys, and Other Domesticated Fowl
