Possessing the Secret of Joyby Alice Walker US $11.20 Published by Washington Square Pr, January 1, 1997 "Through intense character development, innovative plot structure, and dazzling manipulation of point of view, Possessing the Secret of Joy attacks the prac- tice of female genital mutilation and the mythologies various cultures use to sustain this horrific practice.... This is a "magical journey," an initiation into ways of knowing, and an indictment of all that is cruel." —Mary Hope Whitehead Lee "A novel that's strengthened, not strangled, by its political mission."—Newsweek.
