The African-American Writers' Alliance comes together to discuss the essay “Homeplace: a site of resistance” by the groundbreaking Black feminist writer bell hooks. The piece was first published in 1990 in Yearning: Race, gender, and cultural politics. AAWA members will explore the intersections of women, feminism, and definitions of “homeplaces,” while inviting questions from and dialogue with the audience.






About the African-American Writers’ Alliance


The African-American Writers' Alliance is a diverse and dynamic collective of Seattle-area writers of African descent that provides an informal and supportive forum for new and published writers.





They help one another polish their skills, provide peer review, and create opportunities for public readings and other media venues. Ultimately the group encourages members to publish individually and collectively. Their stories — triumphs, tragedies, and whatever is within and between the two — are the history of African Americans.
