All the Women in My Family Sing

All the Women in My Family Sing tells the sometimes raw, always illumining stories of women of color in today’s political climate. Sixty-eight authors in total–African American, Asian American, Chicana, Native American, Cameroonian, South African, British and LGBTQI–these voices broaden cross-cultural understanding and contribute to building bridges to understanding how very alike we are in the daily experiences of life. No other anthology offers the wide spectrum of stories about cultural identity, migration, sexuality, illness, racism and generosity from such illustrious voices, includingAmerica Ferrera on her powerful experience at the Women’s March in Washington, D.C. on January 21, 2017;Natalie Baszile on returning to Louisiana to research Queen Sugar and finding the “painful truths” her father experienced in the “belly of segregation;”Porochista Khakpour on flying across America under the Muslim travel ban; andLalita Tademy on her transition from top executive at Sun Microsystems to NY Times bestselling author. In other essays, a woman writes from prison about widows incarcerated for cashing their husbands’ retirement checks. A young mother writes of suffering hundreds of strokes and a heart attack while giving birth. An art historian argues why Carmen Lomas Garza is as important as Norman Rockwell to our conception of what constitutes the American tableau. An escapee from the Cambodian Killing Fields writes about her life in America after losing 37 family members. A daughter writes about her father growing up in Louisiana having the soles of his feet set on fire as a joke.
