Title: | The African-American woman and resistance to domination and repression: a study Alice Walker's contribution to african- american literature and thought | Authors: | Makombe, Tafirenyika | Keywords: | Black American writing | Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | Midlands State University | Series/Report no.: | The Dyke;Vol.2;No.2.2 p. 33-41 | 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. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/11408/561 | ISSN: | 1815-9036 |
