What to expect
Joan Morgan offers a provocative and powerful look into the life of the modern black woman: a complex world in which feminists often have not-so-clandestine affairs with the most sexist of men, where women who treasure their independence frequently prefer men who pick up the tab, where the deluge of babymothers and babyfathers reminds black women who long for marriage that traditional nuclear families are a reality for less than forty percent of the population, and where black women are forced to make sense of a world where truth is no longer black and white but subtle, intriguing shades of gray.
Still fresh, funny, and irreverent, When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost gives voice to the most intimate thoughts of the post–Civil Rights, post-feminist, post-soul generation.
Critics Review
“This book is an important read for all people everywhere. Enjoy!”
“Everything you want to know about the sisters—and then some.”
“Morgan tussles with the perceived contradictions of being black, female, fly, and feminist…A fresh alternative to accepted notions about black womanhood.”
“Definitely not your mother’s guide to the Equal Rights Amendment….Morgan’s reflections are as timely as they are cogent.”
“Joan Morgan has style to burn…She’s funny, fierce, and yes feminist.”
“Whether one agrees with Morgan or not, the sister definitely makes you think.”
“The voice of a new generation…Commentary on what it is like for a Black woman to come of age, Gen-X style…[with] words and phrases that reflect today’s popular culture.”
“Brings a powerful voice to concerns of modern black women.”
“A debut collection of impassioned essays, written in poetic, flowing prose…Fresh and articulate. Steadily perceptive, shrewdly provocative.”
