developing into a political poet and essayist torn between her West
Indian emigr<'e> parents: her father to whom the book is dedicated
and who wanted her success on the white man's terms, and her mother,
quiet, religious, and conflicted about her husband's near-
militaristic methods to achieve success for their only child. Jordan
is professor of African American Studies at the University of
California, Berkeley, and director of its Poetry for the People
program. No index.
