Reviews
From essays by Bebe Moore Campbell and W.E.B. Du Bois to speeches by Toni Morrison and Mary McLeod Bethune, this collection of writings celebrates different aspects of love in the African American community.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
A brilliant tapestry tenderly pieced together. Made up of essays, fiction, and poetry, embellished with outstanding artwork by modern masters, this is an inspiring anthology that affirms the power of love and its capacity for strengthening bonds among African Americans. The concept of self-love is luminously proclaimed in an interview with Brenda Tapia, a minister and the director of the Love of Learning Program at Davidson College, while the book's second section celebrates familial love. Other sections praise romantic love, the value of love in the community, and love of the land. An important addition to African American studies collections. Alice Joyce
