Womanism emphasizes the ideals of black life by giving a balanced presentation of black womandom. Its objective is the dynamism of wholeness and self-healing. Alice Walker has evolved a working-base to envision her womanist aesthetics. It is outlined in In Search of our Mother's Gardens: Womanist Prose (1983) which provides for the womanists of today a model of womanist praxis.Keywords
