In these thirty-six essays, Walker contemplates her own work and that of other writers, considers the civil rights movement of the 1960s and the anti-nuclear movement of the 1980s, and writes vividly and courageously about a scarring childhood injury. Throughout, Walker explores the theories and practices of feminism, incorporating what she calls the \"womanist\" tradition of black women--insights that are vital to understanding our lives and society today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"When I graduated from college, my father gave me Alice Walker's \u003cem\u003eIn Search of Our Mothers' Gardens\u003c\/em\u003e.
