(large print) ; $c 25 cm. 520 $a For many years, Alice Walker has been known for her outspoken positions against racism, sexism, and colonialism. Now, she takes her crusade into the midst of her fiction, as her protagonist (greatly resembling herself) sheds the burdens and blessings of her past to come to terms with an actuality heightened by the transcendental images of magical realism. To be purified, she must go down two rivers. First, there's the Colorado, where she takes an all-female white-water rafting trip which makes her decide to pursue celibacy. Then, there's the Amazon, where she purges her past using yage, a hallucinogenic herb which brings her closer to the World-Grandmother-Spirit. At last, she reaches a place of love and wholeness. 650 0 $a Self-actualization (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Colorado River (Colo.-Mexico) $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Separation (Psychology) $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Amazon River Region $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Shamanism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Travelers $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Hawaii $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcsh 655 7 $a Love stories. $2 gsafd 856 42 $3 Contributor biographical information $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/bios/random056/2004044933.html 856 41 $3 Sample text $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/samples/random051/2004044933.html 856 42 $3 Publisher description $u http://www.loc.gov/catdir/description/random052/2004044933.html 941 $a 5 945 $a lpt 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314021723.0 952 $l NEPC953 $d 20201013092744.0 952 $l LEPI975 $d 20180202014705.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202025650.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20150911014703.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20CB92666BF211DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWVInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
