Our Words , Our Worlds: Writings on Black South African Women Poets, 2000 - 2018. 2019
Makhoszana Xaba
This groundbreaking, multi-genre anthology answers the question: what did the literary landscape look like in South Africa at the start of the twenty-first century? It documents a slice of this landscape by bringing together the writings of over twenty contributors through literary critique, personal essays and interviews.
REVIEWS
“It is clear that very little research has targeted Black women writers as knowledge and content producers, through the medium of books, let alone poets.”
“One of the most powerful tools for refusing reductive visions is to recall the hidden lineages of Black women’s writing.”
“Poetic intention expresses, reveals … [what] the people have not ceased to live in reality.”
