Tricksters rove and ramble in the pages of literature. But what if the trickster is an African American female? This book examines this figure as delineated in the writings of: Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, Audre Lorde and Toni Morrison. The black female trickster subverts hegemonic discourse and emerges as a victim who refuses victimization.
