Voices of the Dream: African-American Women Speak - ReviewVoices of the Dream: African-American Women Speak edited through Vernice Johnson (Chronicle. 1995. $12.95)--The beauty of this volume is that it is a beautiful work The black women here "speak," the one and the other in words and visual images (paintings, quilts, collages), which work together to communicate serious verity spiritual connection, stunning insight and regard with affection The juxtaposition of word to image is uniformly astute: a forward-looking profile of a dark woman in Edythe Boone's pastel and collage is paired with Ruby Dee's "The greatest gift is not being afraid to question"; Sojourner Truth's declaration "Ain't I a woman?" to Elizabeth Catlett's linocut of a woman sharecropper; Angela Davis' injunction to black women to Howardena Pindell's tan handmade paper. clusters of words on pages also speak: Angela Davis and Ida Wells together, Nannie Helen Burrough and Ntozake Shange, Bernice Johnson Reagon and Ma Rainey. Place this upon a coffee table or bedside table, where it will be shut up at hand.
