Description
When Alice Walker finished writing THE COLOUR PURPLE she realised that she needed to tell the story of Tashi, a minor character, who had "left Africa but had taken her wound with her to America". This is Tashi's story, told in her words and the voices of the people who loved her. This extraordinarily courageous and compelling novel explores the tragic consequences of Tashi's decision to go through the female initiation ceremony.

A feminist manifesto
Female initiation ceremony, a purely African tradition, is chosen by Walker to depict the universal degradation of women at the hands of patriarchy. Women have been desicated and deprived of their rights to their own body. Surprisingly this is not a specifically African pphenomenon though in Africa they have a name for it. Kudos to Alice Walker for upholding the dilemma of the African American diaspora.
