From a dazzling array of well-known African American women,
short fiction, poems, and personal essays that describe with warmth
and humor their experiences as mothers and as daughters.
A sparkling anthology devoted to exploring the lives of African
American mothers, Rise Up Singing presents the stories and
reflections of such beloved and respected artists, journalists, and
authors as Alice Walker, Faith Ringgold, Marita Golden, Martha
Southgate, Tananarive Due, Maya Angelou, Gwendolyn Brooks, Deborah
Roberts, Rita Dove, and others. It features original and previously
published writings, organized by editor Cecelie Berry by
themes—mothering, work, family, children, community, and love—that
illuminate the multiple roles of black mothers at home, in the
neighborhood, and in the world as a whole.
Rise Up Singing brings together the perspectives of women of
different ages, backgrounds, and accomplishments. What shines
through in their writings are the hopes shared by all mothers. As
Marian Wright Edelman writes in the Foreword: “The mothers writing
in this anthology speak in a range of voices. They are joyful,
stressed, grateful, ambivalent, determined, disappointed, and, in
bad ways and good, overwhelmed. But over and over again . . . we
see mothers struggling with the push: striving to give their
children their best and to make sure the world gives their children
its best, hard as that fight may be.
