First released in 1990, The Temple of My Familiar, Alice Walker’s follow up book to her legendary The Colour Purple, invested significantly more than four weeks on the Brand New York Times Best-Seller list and was praised by experts as being a “major achievement” (Chicago Tribune). Defined by the writer as “a love of the final 500,000 years,” The Temple of My Familiar uses a throw of related people, the majority of African ancestry, and each representing another cultural strain—ranging from varied African tribes for the mixed bloods of Latin America—that subscribe to the black experience in The Usa.
