Description
The Salt Eaters
In this powerful novel, Toni Cade Bambara explores themes of memory, self, power and Black health as liberation. A former political activist, Velma Henry has grown weary and disillusioned with the fight for civil rights. Her life is transformed when she finds herself in the hands of a Black faith community, and the fabled healer Minnie Ransom. As Velma works through her traumatic past, she begins to change, becoming whole and maybe even free. Bambara's bold optimism and profound exploration of traditional African religion make for a compelling read. The result is a deeply moving story that will resonate with readers.Related Products
