Reviews

"A significant study of the black female body, and it contributes to the dialogue on the recognition of the female body in society, generating consciousness of its power."--Small Axe

"Initiates new conversations on the representation of black women's writings in a transnational context."--College Language Association Journal

"Refusing to fixate on suffering, Alexander celebrates African Diasporic women's transgressions of Western femininity, medicine, and citizenship."--Contemporary Women's Writing

"Through the works of four migrant women writers--Audre Lorde, Edwidge Danticat, Maryse Conde, and Grace Nichols--[Alexander] evaluates the sexual deviance embodied in diseased, disabled, and hypersexualized female bodies, as well as women's resistance against normative classifications. . . . An insightful (re)interpretation of black women's experiences both in the United States and beyond."--Women's Studies
