- catalog abstract "These Hands I Know offers readers the first-ever intimate view of the inner workings of black family life from the point of view of prose and poetry writers. This collection of seventeen essays includes portraits of fathers, mothers, nieces, brothers, grandparents, husbands, wives, and daughters -- in short, the full spectrum of humanity in contemporary black families. Here, in letter form, a man speaks to his aunt, the family matriarch. A daughter rejects her father's ideas of African-American identity. A young woman holds her niece in her hands for the very first time. And a son faces his father as an old man and finally comes to terms with his failings. Acclaimed authors such as Alice Walker, Edwidge Danticat, Fred D'Aguiar, and Henry Louis Gates, Jr., offer their testimonies, as well as newcomers Jarvis Q. DeBerry, Della Taylor Scott, and Lise Funderburg. These Hands I Know seeks to gather a resolutely honest picture of family life, however painful or joyous that truth may be.".
