Marlene Nourbese Philip

She Tries Her Tongue, Her Silence Softly Breaks

This long-awaited collection of essays consists of selected writings from Guggenheim Fellow Marlene Nourbese Philip's wide-ranging appearances in magazines, newspapers, and journals, including FUSE. Biting, elegant, by turns fiercely questioning, magically lyrical, and gently probing, Philip's examination of contemporary issues of race and culture is always eloquent and commanding.

Selected Essays and Writings on Racism and Culture, 1984-1992

Frontiers

A beautifully written and paced story, sure to capture the imagination of both teenagers and adult readers.

Harriet's Daughter

Now in its 7th printing: A woman, travelling alone through time, Africa, and unnamed lands, searches for Dr. David Livingstone, celebrated by the West as a "discoverer" of Africa. Looking for Livingstone explodes Western assumptions about the "silence" of indigenous peoples; this is an elegant work which beautifully gives voice to the ancestors to whom it is dedicated.
