Home Girls by Barbara Smith

'The girls from the neighborhood and from the block, the girls we grew up with. . . we are not strangers and never have been. I am convinced that Black feminism is, on every level, organic to Black experience.' (From the Introduction) This groundbreaking anthology defines Black women's struggles and dreams through the voices of 34 contributors. 'Home Girls' was one of the first articulations of Black feminist thought and has been a major influence upon the current renaissance of Black women writers. It has become a basic reference work for readers concerned about the intersection of race, gender, sexual orientation, and class. Contributors include Alexis DeVeaux, Toi Derricotte, Jewelle Gomez, Gloria T. Hull, June Jordan, Audre Lorde, Bernice Reagon, and Ann Allen Shockley.
