The author's discussion of Zora Neale Hurston focuses on how Hurston operates as a connection between early black women evangelist writers and black women writing in America today. He ends with the works of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, and Toni Cade Bambara." "By examining the early traditions prefiguring contemporary African American women's text and the impact that race and gender have on them, Douglas-Chin shows how the nineteenth-century black women's works are still of utmost importance to many African American writers today. Preacher Woman Sings the Blues makes a valuable contribution to literary criticism and theoretical analysis and will be welcomed by scholars and students alike."--Jacket 606 $aAfrican American evangelists$vBiography 606 $aAfrican American women$vBiography 615 0$aAfrican American evangelists 615 0$aAfrican American women 676 $a269/.2/092396073 676 $aB 700 $aDouglass-Chin$b Richard J$01609632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814705303321 996 $aPreacher woman sings the blues$93936947 997 $aUNINA
