Alice Walker has written many socially, emotionally and
intellectually important novels, short stories and poems. The
Color Purple (won the American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize
and was made into a movie) was the most widely acclaimed.
Possessing the Secret of Joy is a chilling and gripping portrait
of the deep trauma caused by female genital mutilation. If the
works of Alice Walker have a central theme, it is that the
terrors of oppression, dominion and brutality of one ethnic,
national, sexual or other group over their own people or over
other peoples need to be overcome and eventually eliminated if
the word "civilization" is to have any real positive
meaning and if justice is to become universal. Alice Walker
combines the best of her African heritage with the best of her
other learned and genetic heritages: nothing more can be asked of
anyone. For being the quintessential freedom, justice and
environmental fighter with words, Alice Walker has been named
Futuresaver of the Week. Click the links below for more
