		Bambara is deeply concerned with how the wisdom of the community passes from generation to generation and "manifests itself in the living" (Tate 66).
		Bambara understands and believes in surviving because she grew up listening to stories about "Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells, and [Bambara's] grandmother, Annie" (Sternburg 163), and so the women in her stories not only survive, they inspire.
		Published in 1980, Bambara says the novel "came out of a problem-solving impulse." She was interested in bringing together the activists, warriors, and medicine people within her community to "fuse those camps" (Tate 16) into a venerable force.

	Powell's Books - Those Bones Are Not My Child by Toni Cade Bambara (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Those Bones Are Not My Child is a staggering achievement, a major work of American fiction: the novel that Toni Cade Bambara was working on at the time of her death in 1995 —; a story that puts us at the center of the nightmare of the Atlanta child murders.
		Bambara was living in Atlanta at the time, and Those Bones Are Not My Child is the result of twelve years of first-hand research, as she delved into the murders and the world in which they occurred.
		Bambara — on the spot, actively involved, taking notes, doing field research and interviews — used her unassailable talent as a writer and her intimate relations with all levels and facets of the Atlanta scene to construct what I believe is a magnum opus.

	Toni Cade Bambara (b.1939)
		Pay particular attention, therefore, to the cadence/rhythm and tone of this very conversational piece, an episode, related to the reader as if she and Miss Hazel were talking over a cup of herb tea, embedded, as are all good oral narratives, with pieces of other conversations among the related incident's participants.
		Toni Cade Bambara, writing in the late sixties and early seventies, is speaking to a new generation of African-Americans who are avidly reading reprinted works by fl authors of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and who are equally eager for each new book off the press.

		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.
