New Voices from Aunt Lute 1

Three African-American writers, previously unpublished, rock the senses--from Africa to Thailand to Houston to Chicago. Rabie Harris writes about an old Jamaican woman put into a Texas home care facility by a guilt-ridden daughter. Gloria Yamato's poignant attempts to retrace the steps, in fiction, of those exact moments when African-Americans are forced into painful racialized consciousness. DeeAnne Davis uses the streets of Chicago as the setting for four chapters from her forthcoming novel.
