Alice Walker's early story "Everyday Use" has remained a cornerstone of her work. Her use of quilting as a metaphor for the creative legacy that African Americans inherited from their maternal ancestors changed the way we defined art, women's culture, and African American lives. By putting African American women's voices at the center of the narrative for the first time, "Everyday Use" anticipated the focus of an entire generation of black women writers. This casebook includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of Walker's life, authoritative texts of "Everyday Use" and "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens," an interview with Walker, six critical essays, and a bibliography. The contributors are Charlotte Pierce-Baker, Houston A. Baker Jr., Thadious M. Davis, Margot Anne Kelley, John O'Brien, Elaine Showalter, and Mary Helen Washington. Barbara T. Christian is a professor of African American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

The different sorts of attitudes towards traditional culture.
评分有深刻的意义
评分自卑者的善良造就了自信者的霸道使两个亲姐妹的性格如此两极。家庭，是避风港也是战场，懦弱的人若是学不会反抗，忍耐的极限所释放的力量，不是毁灭性的就是痛彻心扉的，这个短篇选择了后者，用温情和坚韧来应对，我觉得比残酷的结局要好，让人相信人性的善不需要报复就会得到补偿
评分没读懂呢
评分和最初自己的理解大大不同，看來還是對南方文學不能掌握
