Extractions: Alice Walker Writer Recognized as one of the leading voices among black American women writers, Alice Walker has produced an acclaimed and varied body of work, including poetry, novels, short stories, essays, and criticism. Her writings portray the struggle of black people throughout history, and are praised for their insightful and riveting portraits of black life, in particular the experiences of black women in a sexist and racist society. Her most famous work, the award-winning and best-selling novel The Color Purple, chronicles the life of a poor and abused southern black woman who eventually triumphs over oppression through affirming female relationships. Walker has described herself as a "womanist" — her term for a black feminist — which she defines in the introduction to her book of essays, In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens: Womanist Prose

Extractions: To Hell with Dying Genre Short Story (5 pp. in alternate source) Keywords Aging Alcoholism Children Death and Dying ... Psycho-social Medicine Summary Mr. Sweet is a neighbor of the narrator, who is initially a little girl summoned with the rest of her siblings whenever Mr. Sweet is threatening to die. The narrator describes how she and her brothers loved Mr. Sweet, despite the fact that he was an indifferent cotton farmer, a frequent drunk, and an inveterate smoker. Somehow the faults of the old man, including his falling-down bouts of drunkenness and his slovenly personal appearance, are not impediments to the devotion he inspires or the affection for him on the part of the narrator and her brothers. Each time the children are summoned, Mr. Sweet is reputed to be at death's door. "To hell with dying," the narrator's father would say. "These children want Mr. Sweet!" Then the youngsters would leap on the man in bed and begin their miraculous revival. By turns tickling and kissing Mr. Sweet, the neighbor kids manage to revive him time after time. The narrator comes to have faith in her unfailing ability to bring him back to life, and several times the children succeed when the local doctor had given up hope.

Extractions: Bio courtesy the Alice Walker-Womanist Writer website Alice Malsenior Walker was born on February 9, 1944 in Eatonton, Georgia, the eighth and youngest child of Minnie Tallulah Grant Walker and Willie Lee Walker. Her parents were poor sharecroppers but wealthy of spirit and love. Her father's great-great-great grandmother Mary Poole was a slave forced to walk from Virginia to Georgia with a baby in each arm. Her mother's grandmother Talluhah was mostly Cherokee Indian . Alice is deeply proud of her cultural inheritances. In the summer of 1952 while playing "cowboys and indian" with her brothers (Alice was the Indian with bow and arrow in hand), she was blinded in her right eye by a BB gun pellet. Alice was self-conscious of the large white scar tissue left in her eye. When she was 14 years old her brother Bill had the "cataract" removed for Alice by a doctor in Boston, but her vision never returned. After graduating high school in 1961 (she was her school's valedictorian and prom queen that year), Alice left home to attend

Recension Av Hanna Andersson - Omskärelsen
Tashi sitter i f¤ngelse f¶r mordet p¥ den kvinna som omskar henne. En recension.
http://www.ihanna.nu/bok/bok22.html

Extractions: Hanna läste ut den: 98-04-29 När jag gick i skolan gick jag ofta på biblioteket, men numera blir det inte så ofta, eftersom jag köper de böcker jag vill ha (mest pocket). Men Omskärelsen hittade jag på bordet med nyinlämnade böcker när jag slank in på bibblan i förra veckan. Den är skriven av amerikanskan Alice Walker, som också skrivit den underbara boken Purrpurrfärgen , som filmatiserats av Steven Spielberg om jag inte missminner mig. Både boken och filmen är helt underbara. Vackert, sorgligt och gripande. Men nu tänkte jag skriva en recension av boken Omskärelsen , som genom periferia människor är sammanbunden med Purrpurrfärgen och Följeslagaren (som jag inte läst än). En del tror att de svarta besitter en hemlig kraft (Possessin the Secret of Joy) som gör att de alltid bevarar glädjen i sitt sinne, som gör att de trots krig, fattigdom, slaveri och svält kan känna en inre glädje. Men Tashi, huvudpersonen i boken, är afrikanska och hon har aldrig upplevt det så. Istället blir hon psykiskt sjuk och kroppsligt handikappad på grund av sitt folks egna, urgamla traditioner. Tashi sitter i fängelse för mordet på den kvinna som omskar henne. Hon föddes i Olinka, där hennes bästa vänner var de svarta amerikanska missionärernas barn; Adam och Olivia. Men hon tycker att de och alla utlänningar sviker hennes folk, hennes by och kultur, genom att bara vilja göra om och ändra, och själva aldrig anpassa sig till de

When Alice Walker was eight years old, she lost sight of one eye when one of her older brothers shot her with a BB gun by accident. In high school, Alice Walker was valedictorian of her class, and that achievement, coupled with a "rehabilitation scholarship" made it possible for her to go to Spelman, a college for black women in Atlanta, Georgia. After spending two years at Spelman, she transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, and during her junior year traveled to Africa as an exchange student. She received her bachelor of arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College in 1965

Extractions: Introduction Early Years Literary Career Alice Walker achieved early recognition as a poet and novelist, one perhaps more talented than, but otherwise not markedly distinguishable from, a number of other, similar writers. But in the intervening years, she has come to occupy an extraordinary, if not unique, position in contemporary American letters, in which what she represents often seems to be as important as what she writes. Far from the traditional image of the isolated artist, she has sought what amounts to a personal relationship with her readers. She has also taken positions of passionate advocacy, most notably in her campaign against ritual genital mutilation of young women, a practice still institutionalized in many parts of the world. The Color Purple (1982), her most famous work, has been at the center of an ongoing controversy, especially in terms of its depiction of African-American men. More recently, several of her short stories have been objects of bureaucratic censorship in California, one because of its purported immorality (its protagonist is a young unwed mother), another "because it might be viewed as advocating a particular nutritional lifestyle" (!). Alice Walker was born in Eatonton, Georgia, on February 9, 1944, the daughter of Willie Lee, a dairy farmer and sharecropper, and Minnie (Grant) Walker, who augmented the family income by working as a maid. When she was eight years old, an accident caused her to lose the sight of one eye. She attended Spelman College from 1961 to 1963, and then transferred to Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York, where she earned a B.A. in 1965. She is now a member of the board of trustees of her alma mater.

http://odur.let.rug.nl/~usa/LIT/walker.htm

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... Authors Alice Walker (1944- ) Index Alice Walker, an African-American and the child of a sharecropper family in rural Georgia, graduated from Sarah Lawrence College, where one of her teachers was the politically committed female poet Muriel Rukeyser. Other influences on her work have been Flannery O'Connor and Zora Neale Hurston. A "womanist" writer, as Walker calls herself, she has long been associated with feminism, presenting black existence from the female perspective. Like Toni Morrison , Jamaica Kincaid, Toni Cade Bambara, and other accomplished contemporary black novelists, Walker uses heightened, lyrical realism to center on the dreams and failures of accessible, credible people. Her work underscores the quest for dignity in human life. A fine stylist, particularly in her epistolary dialect novel The Color Purple , her work seeks to educate. In this she resembles the black American novelist Ishmael Reed, whose satires expose social problems and racial issues.

Extractions: Walker, 1992 AP/Wide World Photos in full ALICE MALSENIOR WALKER (b. Feb. 9, 1944, Eatonton, Ga., U.S.), American writer whose novels, short stories, and poems were noted for their insightful treatment of black American culture. Her novels focused particularly on women, most notably The Color Purple (1982; film, 1985), which won a Pulitzer Prize in 1983. Walker attended Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga., for two years before transferring to Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y. (B.A., 1965). After college she moved to Mississippi and became involved with the civil-rights movement. She also began teaching and publishing short stories and essays and her first book of poetry, Once (1968). Her first novel, The Third Life of Grange Copeland (1970), traced a family's attempt to conquer a kind of emotional slavery that existed across three generations. In 1973 she published and before moving to New York to complete Meridian (1976), a novel about a young woman in the civil-rights movement. Walker later moved to California, where she wrote perhaps her most popular novel
