Luke (korrick) | 2004 comments Possessing the Secret of Joy, Alice Walker, Africa/United States (United States), NOVEL

"...In Tashi's living room and bedroom, with medical doctors and on psychiatrists couches, in tribal villages and in an African Jail and courtroom, Tashi works to understand and overcome her pain and rage...Tashi's suffering is neither silent nor singular; that "mutilation," "enslavement," "the domination of women," and "the collaboration of our mothers" constitute the unholiest of alliances can no longer be denied after one experiences Alice Walker's telling of Tashi's tale..."

(M.H.W.L./H.S., p. 64)
