Introduction -- "SIsters in sin": discourse, discipline, and difference in Requiem for a nun -- "The image of you, true or false, last[s] alifetime": Lillian Hellman's memories of Black women -- "The very house of difference": Audre Lorde's autobiographies -- "Just this side of colored": Ellen Foster and Night talk -- "Who can you friend with, love with like that?": Sherley Anne William's Dessa Rose -- "A girl from a whole other race": Toni Morrison's "Recitatif," Beloved, and Paradise --Coda. Getting past white women's fantasies: Living out loud.

Much feminist writing of recent decades has addressed the difficulties of relating across racial differences. In Women and Race in Contemporary U.S. Writing, Reames examines novels and autobiographies to discover how contemporary writers have imagined possibilities for relationships between African American and white women that overcome the stereotypical patterns of racism. Works by WilliamFaulkner, Lillian Hellman, Audre Lorde, Kaye Gibbons, Elizabeth Cox, Sherley Anne Williams, and ToniMorrison provide examples of sometimes loving and often conflicted relationships between child and nurse, employer and domestic worker, political allies, and friends. Reames argues that these literaryworks show that meaningful interracial relationships are possible only when white women recognize their racial privilege.
