Ntozake Shange Associate Professor Theatre and Dance Ntozake Shange Ntozake Shange's revolutionary artistic style has inspired readers and audience members around the world. Her written works have been included in over a dozen anthologies in the company of such literary giants as Maya Angelou, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alice Walker, and her innovative plays have lead her to become the second most produced playwright in American regional theatre. Through her bold originality and creativity, Shange invented the "choreopoem," an integration of poetry, movement, music, and dance that bridges the literary and theatrical worlds. Shange was born Paulette Williams in Trenton, New Jersey and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Growing up, her parents fueled her with a diversity of art, music, and culture and encouraged her as she began writing at a very young age. Williams continued to write when she left for Barnard College in 1966 and gave her first formal poetry reading two years later. She graduated in 1970 with a degree in American Studies and began graduate school at the University of Southern California, receiving her Masters Degree in English Literature in 1973. It was there that she changed her name to Ntozake Shange, which is Zulu for "she who comes with her own things" and "she who walks like a lion." Since then, Shange has gone on to write dozens of celebrated works, including novels, poetry, screenplays, essays and plays that have been translated and distributed globally. Her achievements throughout her lifetime earned her the title of "Living Legend of Black Theater" by the National Black Theater Festival, as well as such honors as a Guggenheim Fellowship (1981), two honorary doctorate degrees, and the naming of the official "Ntozake Shange Day" by the city of Houston and the Texas State Legislature.

Perhaps best known for her play . . . for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf (1977), Shange in her new book interweaves recipes with memories in a generous banquet celebrating the cultural significance of certain foods. In recollecting places lived or visited, Shange questions the derivation and preparation of various comestibles, while observing the way traditions vary from state to state. Recalling impressions of countries such as Nicaragua, England, and Cuba, Shange paints a fervent, richly impassioned chronicle of African American experience, at the same time making note of political situations and discord among the peoples of these nations and recording how connections are made beyond issues of class or skin color. Recipes serve as savory, nourishing garnishesat once enhancing and adding a qualified zest to Shange's potent commentaries. Alice Joyce Top of Page Adult Booklist Index Booklist Archive ...
