NEW DAUGHTERS OF AFRICA: AN INTERNATIONAL ANTHOLOGY OF WRITING BY WOMEN OF AFRICAN DESCENT FROM 1900 TO THE PRESENT DAY
Book ID/图书代码： 08136019C00015
English Summary/英文概要： Twenty-five years ago, Margaret Busby wrote a groundbreaking anthology Daughters of Africa illuminated the "silent, forgotten, underrated voices of black women" (Washington Post). Published to international acclaim, it was hailed as "an extraordinary body of achievement… a vital document of lost history" (Sunday Times).
New Daughters of Africa continues that mission for a new generation, bringing together a selection of overlooked artists of the past with fresh and vibrant voices that have emerged from across the globe in the past two decades, from Antigua to Zimbabwe and Angola to the USA. Key figures join popular contemporaries in paying tribute to the heritage that unites them. Each of the pieces in this remarkable collection demonstrates an uplifting sense of sisterhood, honours the strong links that endure from generation to generation, and addresses the common obstacles women writers of colour face as they negotiate issues of race, gender and class, and confront vital matters of independence, freedom and oppression.
Custom, tradition, friendships, sisterhood, romance, sexuality, intersectional feminism, the politics of gender, race, and identity - all and more are explored in this glorious collection of work from over 200 writers. New Daughters of Africa spans a wealth of genres - autobiography, memoir, oral history, letters, diaries, short stories, novels, poetry, drama, humour, politics, journalism, essays and speeches - to demonstrate the diversity and remarkable literary achievements of black women who remain under-represented, and whose works continue to be under-rated, in world culture today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 25年前，玛格丽特•巴斯比写了一本开创性的选集《非洲新女性》，揭示了“黑人女性沉默、被遗忘、被低估的声音”(《华盛顿邮报》)。这本书出版后受到了国际社会的一致好评，被誉为“非凡的成就……一部记录失落历史的重要文献”(《星期日泰晤士报》)。
《非洲新女性》继续着这一使命，汇集了一批过去被忽视的艺术家，他们的声音新鲜而充满活力，在过去20年里从全球各地涌现出来，从安提瓜和巴布亚到津巴布韦，从安哥拉到美国。一些重要人物与同时代的流行人物一起，向把他们团结在一起的传统致敬。每个部分在这个非凡的收藏展示了一个令人振奋的姐妹形象，荣誉代代相传的紧密联系,和女性作家面对种族问题的谈判时涉及的话题：性别和阶级，独立、自由和压迫。
风俗，传统，友谊，姐妹情谊，浪漫，性，跨部门的女权主义，性别，种族和身份的政治——所有和更多的探索在这200多位作家的辉煌的收集著作中。《非洲新女性》跨流派的财富——自传,口述历史、书信、日记、短篇小说、小说，、诗歌、戏剧、幽默、政治、新闻、文章和演讲，展示了黑人妇女的多样性和显著的文学成就，以及在今天的世界文化中其作品仍被低估。（WYL）
