Black Lesbian in White America

Rating:
Summary: A must read for all lesbians (particularly womyn of color)
Review: These essays shared by Ms. Cornwell are extraordinary. The readings help affirm my place in time and propel me to the next level as a proud black homosexual lesbian, feminist and activist. Anita's writings give you a sense of the work still left to be done.

Summary: A Snapshot Of the Past in Sepia Tones
Review: This book is a compendium of essays by a woman who lived during the closeted 50's but was out to herself and brought that sensitivity/sensibility to other Black women, when there were few voices of women of color to say that one was not alone. This was one of the first two books I read when I came out. The other was by Audre Lorde. The interview with both Anita & Audre that is included here both enlightens and makes a call to be an activist whether on a personal or on whatever level one has to be on. This book would be a most welcomed addition to any collection of Black Lesbian Herstory and Black Lesbian writing.
