5.0 out of 5 stars A necessary addition to your personal library 25 April 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I found Sisters of the Yam politically, spiritually and mentally satisfying in it's analysis of the forces that cause African-American Women to suffer depressive and other mentally draining conditions. Not only did bell hooks outline the conditions that cause these symptoms, but she offered solutions to overcome them as well. Sisters of the Yam is well worth reading if you are a sister trying to heal herself and move on with life rather than dwelling on past injustices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sisters of the Yam renews the sister soul 20 Dec 2000
By Helena Romaine Henderson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book has altered my thought process in ways I never thought possible. bell hooks has spoken with clear and simple words about black women and our individual and collective need to self-recover--from racism, sexism, of course--but also from our own (often) self-imposed 'isms carried from childhood. She's brutally honest in a book that sits unmoved from my bed-stand. A recommended read for black women. Period. Regardless of background and circumstance. A must read for those on the never-ending journey of self-introspection that eventually encourages self-recovery.

4.0 out of 5 stars intelligent, and worthwhile read 20 Aug 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Sisters of the yam was a life savor...Although, Ms. Hooks presented a circumstantial presentation in the first two chapters, she eventually landed on track and was able to offer some sound advice on love, pain and the past...loved the book
