Abstract
This essay endeavours to assess the role of black women writers on the American literary scene, and the distinctive quality of their voices. It examines the claims they are making, the way they define their tasks and their artistic strategies. The search for the legacy is seen as a fundamental preoccupation. Alice Walker's In Search of their Mother's Gardens is chosen to illustrate the quest, enunciating as it does the principles of an inquiry into the past and into the dialectics of womanhood and blackness.
