Cheryl A. Wall Worrying the line

black women writers, lineage, and literary tradition

Described is how African American women in the twentieth century, brought changes in African American and American literary traditions. Examined is the work of Lucille Clifton, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, and Alice Walker. The author highlights ways in which these authors construct family genealogies, filling in the gaps with dreams, rituals, music, or images that forge a connection to family lost through slavery.
