Soul Talk

“In this intelligent work of the heart and spirit, Hull reveals the exquisite and reflective interiors of African-American women.” * Publishers Weekly, starred review *“Soul Talk is a worthy tribute to Toni Cade Bambara and to the lives and work of African American women writers.” * Toni Morrison, author of Beloved and Paradise *“Hull has given us new revelations. I have seen many of my sisters embracing a new light in their lives–African American women giving birth to brightness and walking along the river of grace and redemption. This book talks to me. Soul to soul.” * E. Ethelbert Miller, author of Fathering Words: The Making of an African American Writer *“Akasha Hull’s Soul Talk offers us a cartography of New Age Spirituality from the perspective of African American women. Embracing Spirit as a world view infused with political aspirations and creative impulses, she visions a new trinity of renewal and redemption, grounded in suffering, survival, and resistance.” * Bettina Aptheker, Chair of Women’s Studies, University of California, Santa Cruz *“A beautiful testament and tribute to the power of black women. Here, the one-dimensional New Age paradigm shifts to a “True Age” model for integrating spirituality, politics, and creativity. This book will help men understand why women are, and must be, in the forefront of a spiritual culture that could save us all. Ache O.” * Luisah Teish, author of Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals *“This is a powerful and immensely uplifting work for women of all ethnic backgrounds. The new spiritual consciousness, as revealed by the women who practice it, serves as a light by which we can envision a better world for all beings.” * MTB, Napra ReView, January February 2002 *
