ISBN: 9780997296211

All the Women in My Family Sing is an anthology documenting the experiences of women of color at the dawn of the twenty-first century.

Sixty-nine authors -- African American, Asian American, Chicana, Native American, Cameroonian, South African, Korean, LGBTQI -- lend their voices to broaden cross-cultural understanding and to build bridges to each other's histories and daily experiences of life.
