This collection of Toni Cade Bambara's essays, short fiction and interviews is a tribute to a great African American writer who died all too soon at the age of 56. Deep Sightings and Rescue Missions is edited by Toni Morrison, a writer to whom Bambera has often been favourably compared. Her writings are energetic and original, dealing with the role of the black female activist as well as mothers, daughters, and wives. Nothing escapes Bambara's pen: film, politics, literature, race; all are treated with the wise and insightful power of a writer whose loss and legacy will long be felt. | Deep Sightings & Rescue Missions by Toni Cade Bambara, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
