'We are laying claim to our selfhood... as women: separate and equal with men, demanding recognition not only from the host society but from our own community' - Lauretta Ngcobo In this engaging and dynamic collection of essays by ten Black women writers in Britain are personal stories, glimpses of history, discussions of the intentions and obligations of writing itself, and a powerful sense of resistance in the face of British racism. These essays are also about colonialism and slavery, male domination, the family and motherhood, work and sexuality... Poems, prose pieces, critical commentaries and a comprehensive introduction combine to offer a view of the rich and multi-faceted cultural tradition of this writing in the 1980s
