About This Item
Paperback. New. Paperback New Ships From Canada New No dust jacket as issued Trade paperback (US) Glued binding 400 p Audience: General/trade From Publishers Weekly: After the spectacular Dark Matter (2000), Thomas offers something of a mixed bag in her second anthology of speculative fiction from the African diaspora Of the stories set during the days of slavery, ihsan bracy's "'"ibo landing"'" proves that stylization of subject matter can be more powerful than historical fidelity The shimmering, brutal outlines created by such simple sentences as "'"each in their own way understood the distance they would never again be home"'" stay with the reader for a long time By contrast, the weight of research muffles the emotional impact of a story like Cherene Sherrard's "'"The Quality of Sand "'" Similarly, Charles R Sanders's "'"Yahimba's Choice"'" seems written by an anthropologist studying a distant culture, the story unable to move past surface ritual and wooden dialogue The strongest entry is Kuni Ibur
