Publisher Comments:

A bold collection of creative pieces and theoretical essays by women of color. New thought and new dialogue: a book that will teach in the most multiple sense of that word: a book that will be of lasting value to many diverse communities of women as well as to students from those communities. The authors explore a full spectrum of present concerns in over seventy pieces that vary from writing by new talents to published pieces by Audre Lorde, Joy Harjo, Norma Alarcón and Trinh T. Minh-ha.

"At one level or another, all the work in the collection seeks to find ways to understand and articulate our multiple identities and senses of place....Making Face/Making Soulis an exciting collection of dynamic, important writings that all women of color and white feminists will learn from, enjoy, and return to again and again and again."-Sojourner

This is the necessary companion volume to the groundbreaking text, Este Puente Mi Espalda (This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color), edited by Gloria Anzaldúa and Cherríe Moraga.

Haciendo Caras brings further depth and dimension to the critical and literary voices of women of color. New voices create a harmonious chorus with the leaders of these fields, making for a perfect read.

Many of our most vital leaders, including Gloria Anzaldúa, have passed away, in recent years. This book is both legacy and future: bring it to your home, your heart, your classrooms.
