The New York Times bestselling book that both galvanizes
progressives for action and is a balm--from the Pulitzer Prize-winning
author
"A light in darkness, Alice Walker awakens us to our own power as only
she can. . . . Once again, Walker has exceeded our expectations." --The
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
When the United States recently exploded with unprecedented
demonstrations challenging racial violence and hatred, Alice Walker's
New York Times bestselling We Are the Ones We Have Been Waiting For
was one of the books to which people turned for inspiration and solace.
Called "stunningly insightful" and "a book that will inspire hope" by
Publishers Weekly, this work by the author of The Color Purple is a
clarion call to activism--spiritual ruminations with a progressive
political edge, that offer a moment of care and solace.
Walker encourages readers to take faith in the fact that, despite our
daunting predicaments, we are uniquely prepared to create positive
change. Drawing on Walker's spiritual grounding and her progressive
political convictions, the book offers a cornucopia of the Pulitzer
Prize winner's writings and speeches on advocacy, struggle, and hope.
Each chapter concludes with a recommended meditation to teach patience,
compassion, and forgiveness.
Walker's clear vision and calm meditative voice--truly "a light in
darkness"--has struck a deep chord among a large and devoted readership.
