N2 - In an essay entitled Variations on Negations and the Heresy of Black Feminist Creativity, Black feminist Michele Wallace explores the difficulties of producing and presenting a black female cultural perspective, which for the most part is not allowed to become written in a society in which writing is the primary currency of knowledge (Wallace 1990, 54). Although she anticipates that some might find a defense of Black female cultural and political criticism elitist, she nevertheless remains, convinced that the major battle for the other of the other [i.e., Black women] will be to achieve a voice, or voices, thus inevitably transforming the basic relations of dominant discourse. Only with these voiceswritten, published, televised, taped, filmed, staged, cross-indexed, and footnotedwill [Black women] approach control over [their] own lives (66).
