The author conducts critical readings of fiction writing by Black women authors of the post-Civil Rights period from a "Afro-Politico Womanist" perspective, which is a "combination of Black Feminism and Womanism" that "incorporates Black female activism, History, Literature, and Experiential Theory" and emphasizes a "holistic, community based approach to political mobilization within the Black community which was largely ignored during the activism of the post-Civil Rights period." Individual chapters discuss Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon, Alice Walker's Meridian, Toni Cade Bambara's The Salt Eaters, and Paule Marshall's The Chosen Place, the Timeless People.
