To fill that gap, this collection of original essays explores the mother-daughter relationship as it appears in the works of African, African American, Asian American, Mexican American, Native American, Indian, and Australian Aboriginal women writers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProminent among the writers considered here are Toni Morrison, Alice Walker, Maxine Hong Kingston, Cherrie Moraga, Leslie Marmon Silko, and Amy Tan. Elizabeth Brown-Guillory and the other essayists examine the myths and reality surrounding the mother-daughter relationship in these writers' works. They show how women writers of color often portray the mother-daughter dyad as a love\/hate relationship, in which the mother painstakingly tries to convey knowledge of how to survive in a racist, sexist, and classist world while the daughter rejects her mother's experiences as invalid in changing social times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book represents a further opening of the literary canon to twentieth-century women of color. Like the writings it surveys, it celebrates the joys of breaking silence and moving toward reconciliation and growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes on Contributors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction (Elizabeth Brown-Guillory)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Problems of Reading: Mother-Daughter Relationships and Indian Postcoloniality (Radhika Mohanram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Continuum of Pain: A Woman’\u003cbr\u003es Legacy in Alice Walker’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003ePossessing the Secret of Joy\u003c\/i\u003e (Kimberly Joyce Pollock)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“\u003cbr\u003eI was cryin’\u003cbr\u003e, all the people were cryin’\u003cbr\u003e, my mother was cryin’\u003cbr\u003e”\u003cbr\u003e: Aboriginality and Maternity in Sally Morgan’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eMy Place\u003c\/i\u003e (Joyce Zonana)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“\u003cbr\u003eMy mother is here”\u003cbr\u003e: Buchi Emecheta’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eLove Child\u003c\/i\u003e (Patricia Lee Yongue)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e(Re)claiming the Race of the Mother: CherrÍ\u003cbr\u003ee Moraga’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eShadow of a Man\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGiving Up the Ghost\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eHeroes and Saints\u003c\/i\u003e (Julia De Foor Jay)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poetics of Matrilineage: Mothers and Daughters in the Poetry of African American Women, 1965-1985 (Fabian Clements Worshma)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mother as Other: Orientalism in Maxine Hong Kingston’\u003cbr\u003es \u003ci\u003eThe Woman Warrior\u003c\/i\u003e (Sheryl A.
