In particular, it pervaded the work of black women writers from Zora Neale Hurston of the Harlem Renaissance to Nikki Giovanni and Carolyn Rodgers during the Black Nationalism and Black Arts Movements. Black women have the unique experience of…
only. However, I never dared to question the Koran and I felt a deep sense of guilt that was taking over me.
