Black Women's Literature of the Americas (eBook, ePUB)

Griots and Goddesses

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Drawing on a range of historical and literary texts, this book examines how Black women under the yoke of slavery negotiated their sense of belonging and spirituality from a liminal position, stuck between a new life in the Americas, and their connections to their African ancestral roots and a wider diasporic community.
