Ntozake Shange School of Literary Thought

Ntozake Shange School of Literary Thought Black Women coming together to read, to write, to love and share. Ntozake Shange writes from this perspective. Let’s get together and create magic!

Over the past one hundred years, Black Women have written themselves into the forgotten pages of a male-dominated society and literary world. They have written about how this power constricts their intersections of simultaneously being Black and Woman. Her literary work begets a consciousness of Black contemporary femininity in a society that crosses ma...ny genres: Playwriting, Novelist, Poet and

Essayist. In the celebration of her name and all that Shange represents, we have come together to create a Sister’s circle/literary group entitled the “Ntozake Shange School of Literary Thought”. This will be a safe space where Black Women can be subversive and recover ourselves through words in the form of reading, writing and critical analyses through verbal dialogue. Therefore, it is our hope that, Ntozake School of Literary Thought will be a place where Black Women can (re)affirm each other to heal many of the wounds that are inflicted by racism, sexism, classism, and homophobic views through our collective narratives.
