About the Book
Where are the women writers of color? Where are their theoretical voices? The contributors to Other Sisterhoods answers these questions and others by examining the ways that women writers of color have contributed to the discourse of literary and cultural theory. The essayists focus on the impact of key issues like social construction and identity politics, on the works of women writers of color, as well as on the ways these women deal with differences relating to gender, class, race/ethnicity, and sexuality. The book also explores the ways women writers of color have created their own ethnopoetics within the arena of literary and cultural theory, helping to redefine the nature of theory itself.Contributors: Kimberly M.
