Synopsis

Turning on inspired interpretations of Zora Neale Hurston, Toni Morrison, and Ntozake Shange, *Workings of the Spirit* weighs current critical approaches to black women's writing against Baker's own explanation of the founding, theoretical state of Afro-American intellectual history. "Brilliant, and tenderly riveted to gratitude as an indispensable facet of analysis, Houston Baker arrives, yet again, bearing the loveliest flowers of his devotion and delight: thank God he's here!"-June Jordan
