Journal Article
A Hip Hop, Afro-Feminist Aesthetic of Love: Sister Souljah's \The Coldest Winter Ever\
2007
Overview
According to him, such a love enables one to be responsible for the self and the community. The Coldest Winter Ever thus aligns with major African American women's fictional works concerned with the apocalyptic psychological and social condition confronting black people in contemporary American society. [...]this turn of the century novel continues some of the crucial thematic and structural aspects of several major earlier late-twentieth century African American women's novels. [...]Winter commits to becoming the \"bad bitch\" that her mother once personified in order to regain the deceptively insulated, ghetto high life that her parents taught her. Since Winter's mission is to survive and rise to her former status using whatever devious means necessary, her emotional immaturity and abject materialism make her unwilling to perceive another way of being or of achieving material stability. Again, the relationship between Sister Souljah and Belial confound her. Since she cannot value the African female identity that Sister Souljah embodies, Winter cannot grasp why Belial consistently rejects her sexual advances but seemed to love Sister Souljah.
