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.

评分Walker的語言充滿詩的韻律,讀起來像是一麯Blues。小說的主題是Heirloom,Heritage。 很顯然Walker想要批判的是美國非洲裔群體當時的一種繼承美國非裔文化的錯誤方式,其中以Dee為代錶,充斥著美國消費主義和所謂的精英主義,改掉本身具有文化積澱的名字,去追求一種激進的方式,而Walker所倡導的正是以母親和Maggie為代錶的將祖先文化用於日常使用的一種繼承方式,Maggie甚至像祖母學習瞭如何編織quilt,這纔是真正能將屬於美國非裔文化繼承下去的最佳方式,everyday use
