Alice Walker's early story "Everyday Use" has remained a cornerstone of her work. Her use of quilting as a metaphor for the creative legacy that African Americans inherited from their maternal ancestors changed the way we defined art, women's culture, and African American lives. By putting African American women's voices at the center of the narrative for the first time, "Everyday Use" anticipated the focus of an entire generation of black women writers. This casebook includes an introduction by the editor, a chronology of Walker's life, authoritative texts of "Everyday Use" and "In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens," an interview with Walker, six critical essays, and a bibliography. The contributors are Charlotte Pierce-Baker, Houston A. Baker Jr., Thadious M. Davis, Margot Anne Kelley, John O'Brien, Elaine Showalter, and Mary Helen Washington. Barbara T. Christian is a professor of African American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

文化从来都不是封闭的 更不会是肤浅的
评分Walker的语言充满诗的韵律，读起来像是一曲Blues。小说的主题是Heirloom，Heritage。 很显然Walker想要批判的是美国非洲裔群体当时的一种继承美国非裔文化的错误方式，其中以Dee为代表，充斥着美国消费主义和所谓的精英主义，改掉本身具有文化积淀的名字，去追求一种激进的方式，而Walker所倡导的正是以母亲和Maggie为代表的将祖先文化用于日常使用的一种继承方式，Maggie甚至像祖母学习了如何编织quilt，这才是真正能将属于美国非裔文化继承下去的最佳方式，everyday use
评分有深刻的意义
评分张爱玲怎么写母亲，Alice Walker就怎么写女儿，那种暗搓搓的吐槽很相似。关于非裔黑人文化的观点，全是从极其日常的生活细节中带出来的，立场小心藏在小说语言的机锋里，读起来很有生活实感，但细想之下，非常一针见血。这种生活实感，好莱坞讲少数族裔的电影真该好好学学，即便是斯派克·李之类的黑人导演也做不到这个程度。
评分英语课上读的 情节记不大清了只记得和继承一被子有关
