		I discovered Bambara because her name was often associated with that of Toni Morrison.Bambara is a strong writer, with strong convinctions, and with a militant kind of writing.
		Bambara also makes clear that though everything's in a network, the individual still has the power to take action that may change not only himself and his community but the world at large.
		Some readers may be beffudled at Bambara syntax and vocabulary (and yes this is hard to decode), but once you get beyond that you're just disappointed that Bambara did not write many novels: you're in the presence of a great artist, that is someone that has a style, a vision, and a message.

		Bambara's role in empowering her community through her work, then, is in giving it the voice and authorization through her work to both inform the writer and the readers.
