What is Black Women Novelists' Contribution To Contemporary Feminist Discourse (women's Studies) about?

Sarr examines how six novels contribute to contemporary black feminist discourse by depicting women who attempt to achieve discursive agency—the ability to write or speak for themselves. She analyzes both anglophone and francophone novels, including Sapphire's Push, about an illiterate African-American girl, and Le Baobab Fou by Senegalese author Ken Bugul. The text is based upon research conducted by Sarr while a Thurgood Marshall Fellow at Dartmouth College. (Note: there's a discrepancy between the cover and the title page, which shows the title as "...feminine discourse" instead of "...feminist discourse."
