Fourth Printing. The first collection of poetry by African American actress, playwright, poet, and activist Beah Richards, whose stage and screen career included A Raisin in the Sun, The Amen Corner, In the Heat of the Night, and an Academy Award-nominated performance in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Published by Los Angeles's Inner City Cultural Center, the collection combines black cultural affirmation with an explicitly feminist analysis of race, sexuality, class, religion, and gender. Richards' preface announces her project as an exploration of "the role of woman Black," while poems such as "My Gods Are Not of Virgin Birth," "It's Time for Love," "Keep Climbing Girls," and "It Is Not My Being Black" range from childhood and female self-determination to sexual politics, racism, Christianity, and black identity. The centerpiece is "A Black Woman Speaks," Richards' forceful address by a black woman to white women. Moving through slavery, the sexual exploitation of enslaved women, the Civil War, Harriet Tubman, lynching, the Ku Klux Klan, Emmett Till, poverty, and contemporary racial and sexual hierarchies, Richards attacks the mythology of white female innocence while arguing that racism has obscured potential solidarity between black and white women. An important literary counterpart to Richards' better-known work as an actor and playwright, and a distinctive contribution to the politically engaged black poetry and performance culture. Richards was later profiled in a 2003 film titled, "Beah: A Black Woman Speaks." Perfect-bound, photo-illustrated covers, 36 pp. INSCRIBED by Richards to title page. A near fine copy. Uncommon in the trade.…
