ANYTHING WE LOVE CAN BE SAVED. A Writer's Activism.
New York: Random House, 1997. First edition. hardcover. Signed by Alice Walker on the title page. Here, Walker writes about her life as an activist, in the belief that the world is savable, if only we will act. The book begins with an autobiographical essay in which she describes her own spiritual growth and the roots of her activism, including reflections about religion in 'The Color Purple.' Then she explores; being a daughter and raising one, dreadlocks, banned books, civil rights, gender communication and the ritual mutilation of children in Ghana. She writes about Zora Neale Hurston and Salman Rushdie and offers advice for Bill Clinton, for Fidel Castro, and for young women growing up. She comments on culture and cats, feminism and race, writing and living. Here are a wise woman's thoughts as she interacts with the world today, and an important portrait of an activist writer's life. A near fine copy in a near fine dust jacket. Item #15039
