Honey, Hush!: An Anthology of African American Women's Humor

Honey, Hush!: An Anthology of African American Women's Humor

by Daryl Cumber Dance (Author)

Synopsis

Honey Hush! is an exclamation used among black women, especially those from the South, as a friendly encouragement, a mild suggestion of playful disbelief, or a suggestion that one is telling truths that are prohibited. This anthology will make readers say Honey, Hush! many times. Often hard-hitting, sometimes risque', always dramatic and eloquent, the vibrant humor of African American women is celebrated in this bold, unique and comprehensive collection. Arising from the depth of black women's souls and the breadth of their lives, it reflects what the American experience has meant to them.

Media Reviews
Dance leavens this mixture of humorous work by well-known authors such as novelist April Sinclair and poet Maya Angelou with a sprinkling of salty proverbs. . . . The result makes for many hours of enjoyable reading on subjects from O. J. to rum cake.
