Meridian Hill is a young woman at an Atlanta college attempting to find her place in the 1960s revolution for racial and social equality. She discovers the limits beyond which she will not go for the cause, but despite her decision not to follow the path of some of her peers, she makes significant sacrifices in order to further her beliefs. Working in a campaign to register African American voters, Meridian cares broadly and deeply for the people she visits, and, while her coworkers quit and move to comfortable homes, she continues to work in the deep South despite a paralyzing illness. Meridian's nonviolent methods, though seemingly less radical than the methods of others, prove to be an effective means of furthering her beliefs. "A glowing affirmation of the possibility...of love and forgiveness—between men and women, black and white."— Baltimore Sun Review: I thought I didn't like this book when I started reading - I thought I didn't like this book when I started reading. I put it away for a bit and went on to something else but then the book started "calling" to me so I took it out again. This time I couldn't put it down and even went back and re-read certain parts to make sure I understood what the book was saying. I rate this book with some of the finest books I have ever read and I have always been an avid reader, so many, many fine books have gone through my hands and into my mind. I found I cared deeply for the heroine even though I didn't know her, or anyone like her, our lives had no similarity at all. She an American black woman and me a Scottish white woman had no knowledge of each others lives at all. I came to America just after the "Greensboro sit-in" and was stunned to find out that there was this terrible division of white and black people and I started to read their stories. Do not miss this book, it truly speaks of courage and love and compassion. Review: Self Reflection - I was assigned to read this for my English class which made me very neutral in the beginning. Once I started reading I could not stop. Some very important topics of race, classism, and sexism were brought up: issues we still struggle with in 2019. It was also a self reflection of the main character self which can be relatable when it comes to not conforming with society’s norms. Great read and definitely recommended. ## Features - Meridian By Walker Alice ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #218,793 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,717 in Black & African American Women's Fiction (Books) #5,302 in Classic Literature & Fiction #6,056 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 590 Reviews | ## Images ![Meridian: A Classic Novel of Civil Rights Activism and Feminism in the 1960s American South - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6192iZz50QL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I thought I didn't like this book when I started reading *by A***R on December 10, 2014* I thought I didn't like this book when I started reading.

Once I started reading I could not stop. Some very important topics of race, classism, and sexism were brought up: issues we still struggle with in 2019. It was also a self reflection of the main character self which can be relatable when it comes to not conforming with society’s norms. Great read and definitely recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐ fictional snapshot of the equal rights movement through the eyes of Meridian *by K***T on October 29, 2020* The story of Meridian and her comrades is somewhat dark and disturbing, though Alice Walker is a brilliant writer. There is much about sex and sexuality, sometimes disturbing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Meridian - The Color Purple: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5564289-meridian-a-classic-novel-of-civil-rights-activism-and-feminism](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/5564289-meridian-a-classic-novel-of-civil-rights-activism-and-feminism) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
