Where are the women writers of color? Where are their theoretical voices?The fifteen contributors to Other Sisterhoods: Literary Theory and U.S. Women of Color examine the ways that women writers of color havecontributed to the discourse of literary and cultural theory. They focuson the impact of key issues, such as social construction and identitypolitics, on the works of women writers of color, as well as on the waysthese women deal with differences relating to gender, class, race/ethnicity,and sexuality. The book also explores the ways women writers of colorhave created their own ethnopoetics within the arena of literary and culturaltheory, helping to redefine the nature of theory itself."A sophisticated resource that will do much to carry us throughto the next century.
