The Wolf at the End of the Block

Comfort Stew
The titular stew of Angela Jackson's urban drama is the spicy meal cooked by the main character, a dish that conjures up memories of her own brief childhood, which she fears will be repeated in the lives of her rebellious daughter Sojourner and neighborhood teen mother Patrice Rodgers.
In Search of Our Warrior Mothers
In Search of Our Warrior Mothers documents how the Black Arts Movement (1965–76) provided a forum for black women playwrights to express feminist attitudes from within black nationalist discourses.
Smart People
In Smart People, Lydia R. Diamond shows that no matter how well we think we understand the influence of race on human interaction, it still manages to get in the way of genuine communication and connection. As in all of her work, Diamond brings a sharp wit and a subtle intelligence to bear on questions that never cease to trouble us as individuals and as a society.
