Description
Where are the women writers of color? Where are their theoretical voices?
The fifteen contributors to Other Sisterhoods: Literary Theory and
U.S. Women of Color examine the ways that women writers of color have
contributed to the discourse of literary and cultural theory. They focus
on the impact of key issues, such as social construction and identity
politics, on the works of women writers of color, as well as on the ways
these women deal with differences relating to gender, class, race/ethnicity,
and sexuality. The book also explores the ways women writers of color
have created their own ethnopoetics within the arena of literary and cultural
theory, helping to redefine the nature of theory itself.
"A sophisticated resource that will do much to carry us through
to the next century. Great work!" -- Alvina E. Quintana, author of
