373 pp. 9 x 7. A collaboration by Alice Walker, the author of The Color Purple, and British filmmaker Pratibha Parmar, examining female genital mutilation in African culture. "In ' Possessing the Secret of Joy' Alice Walker brought the issue of female genital mutilation, a practice that affects 100 million women, to the attention of the world. Simultaneously, she was working on a TV documentary with British film maker Pratibha Parmar, to further expose the horrors of the process. This book is the story of the making of that film, a journey from California to England and Africa, and a journey of self-discovery." Show more
