Trade Review
“A sensible, humane, clear, direct voice revealing import strengths (Walker) and weaknesses (Drabble, Emecheta) in these novelists’s aesthetics concerning femaleness.” * Choice *
“Readable, ground-breaking and provocative. [Allan’s book] provides a valuable new tool for feminist critics in showing how Walker’s concept of womanism can be applied to British and African women’s fiction to interrogate issues of gender, race, class, and imperialism.”
