New Criticism and Pedagogical Directions for Contemporary Black Women Writers is a collection of critical and pedagogical essays that shed new light on the creative depths of Black women writers. On the one hand, some Black women writers have been heavily anthologized, they have more often than not been restricted by critical metanarratives. Some of their works have been lionized while others remain neglected. On the other hand, some Black women writers have been ignored and understudied. This collection corrects the gaps in our critical thinking about Black women writers by introducing them to a new generation of undergraduate and graduate students, and by presenting pedagogical essays to our colleagues currently working in the field.

New Criticism and Pedagogical Directions for Contemporary Black Women Writers is an excellent collection of essays that aims at increasing awareness of Black womanhood through scholarly analyses and pedagogical practices. It discusses the issues of Black feminism in contemporary societies, including Black women’s voices, status, rights, experience, exploitation, and struggle demonstrated in literary works by such noted writers as Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Sonia Sanchez, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It is also a mindful echo of Blackness emphasized in the Black Arts Movement. This book explores the strategies of teaching Black women writers by understanding their literary expressions and their ways of thinking throbbing with the trials and tribulations of their fight for freedom, dream, and human rights.
John Zheng, editor of Sonia Sanchez's "Poetic Spirit through Haiku and The Other World of Richard Wright"
