Sobre este artículo
Random House Publishing Group, 2003. Advance Reading Copy. Fine. Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks’s wildly original debut novel, Getting Mother’s Body, follows pregnant, unmarried Billy Beede and her down-and-out family in 1960s Texas as they search for the storied jewels buried—or were they?—with Billy’s fast-running, six-years-dead mother, Willa Mae. Getting Mother’s Body is a true spiritual successor to the work of writers such as Zora Neale Hurston and Alice Walker—but when it comes to bringing hard-luck characters to ingenious, uproarious life, Suzan-Lori Parks shares the stage with no one.

Sobre Oasis in the Diaspora
Oasis in the Diaspora is a literary, cultural and artistic emporium featuring a collection of books and ephemera each of which have led their own marvelous lives. Consisting of more than 12,000 rare Black books, small press poetry, multicultural children's books, and unique cultural artifacts, the collection primarily reflects the visions and voices of Black writers, historians, activists, artists and scholars across the African diaspora. Sweet smelling pages housed in pristine dust jackets, illustrated by the likes of artists Romare Bearden, Tom Feelings and Lois Malou Jones, are graced with the signatures and inscriptions of icons including Octavia Butler, Alice Walker, Amiri Baraka, James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Roy DeCarava, and contemporary writers of equal brilliance.
The Oasis in the Diaspora archives also includes a collection of more than 5,000 letters documenting Black lives and cultures from the late 19th century to the present, including correspondences from Jennifer Lawson, Afeni Shakur, Barack Obama, Richard Pryor, June Jordan, Shirley Graham DuBois, Angela Davis and hundreds of others.
Amassed by writer, activist, cultural broker and former manager of the iconic DC bookstore Drum and Spear Daphne Muse, the collection is now being sold to the people in order to preserve the legacies of those who have been an integral part of forging the paths of Black lives and cultures across two and into three centuries. Take a beat to browse, and behold the collective knowledge of Black lives across the Diaspora.
