Bates (English, Bowie State U.) introduces students and general readers to the work of contemporary African American novelist Alice Walker. Following a biography of the author, she places Walker's body of work within the context of larger literary movements and also investigates her "womanist" theory. Each of the remaining eight chapters provides an in-depth analysis of one of Walker's novels. The volume concludes with an extensive bibliography of works by and about Walker.
