Review

"A pathbreaking study of African-American women's responses to literature and film... Bobo focuses on a small group of middle-class African-American women as they process literature (by Terry McMillan, Alice Walker) that addresses their own experiences... This work should command the attention of all scholars of American popular culture." -- Choice
