dc.description.abstract | This paper looks at Alice Walker's contribution to Black American writing. Her contribution is unique in the sense that she strives to highlight the condition of the African-American woman in America ñ she departs from mainstream African-American writing which focuses on the Negro's experiences in general. The paper argues that Walker presents Negro women being dominated and exploited as Negro women and not necessarily as African-Americans, and that men in general use Negro women as the arena in their power struggles. The paper acknowledges the limitations of Walker's artist vision and shows these limitations. | en_US |
