Examining the works of Lucille Clifton, Gayl Jones, Audre Lorde, Paule Marshall, Toni Morrison, Gloria Naylor, and Alice Walker, this book highlights ways in which these African American authors construct family genealogies, filling in the gaps with dreams, rituals, music, or images that forge a connection to family lost through slavery.
