The Tradition of Womanism in "In Search of Our Mothers' Garden"A Discussion about Alice Walker's View Of Womanism

Alice Walker exposes the fact that slavery and racial discrimination has historically strangled black women's creative power in her essay "In Search of Our Mothers' Garden". In this article she seeks the tradition of womanism, and traces the black women's oppressed creative power back to the silent artistic work, such as sewing quilts and cultivating flowers. By using the implied metaphor of this silent art, Walker tries to search the black matrilineal literature. Her excavation of the tradition is very significant to African American woman literature, African American literature and American literature.
