Purpose of the study: The study aims to examine the concept of sisterhood as an emancipative endeavor to empower and free the Afro-American women in Alice Walker's (1942) novels: Meridian and the Color Purple, through the liberal treatment of Black Feminism. Methodology: Qualitative research aims to form speculations or facts that are derived from secondary sources. It tries to understand Walker's liberal treatment of sisterhood, in the selected novels, through the radical black feminism, and the feminist liberal lens of bell hooks. The study considered other related critics and scholars to help further illuminate the emancipative notion of sisterhood. The study is a library-based drawn on literary and critical books and articles. Main finding: The study clarifies the emancipative notion of hooks on Walker's feminist attitude of sisterhood in the selected novels as a privilege to enhance black women's growth and to strengthen the social bond to achieve women's liberation. Simultaneously, the study criticizes the Western oppressive authority as well as the traditional one-sided thinking of mainstream feminism. By a new and liberal reading of hooks' perspective, the study illuminates that the collective power and mass struggle of Afro-American women lead to self-realization and identity. Implication: This study can be used by scholars and activists to understand how Afro-American women have been undergoing a long process of transformation by radical feminist thinking, from exploitation, domination, and oppression toward the center of social, political and cultural focus.  Originality/Novelty: A new reading of Walker's novels is utilized by the light of bell hooks' emancipative notion of sisterhood.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The biggest spiritual orientation for every Muslim in performing Hajj is getting predicate Hajj Mabrur. So whether the predicate is just a spiritual title? This research will describe Nurcholish Madjid's Sufistic social fiqh thoughts about the meaning of the predicate hajj Mabrur. This type of research is a qualitative research in the form of library research. The main data source used was a book by Nurcholish Madjid entitled Hajj and Umrah. Meanwhile, secondary sources are used, namely various studies that are relevant to the focus of this research study. The method used in this study is the method of interpreting the thought of figures. There are two big conclusions of this research. First, the integrative paradigm of nurcholish Madjid, namely the paradigm of integration between fiqh, social and Sufism. This integrative paradigm according to Nurcholish Madjid can make fiqh as a medium for the social reform movement. Second, the predicate Hajj Mabrur in the perspective of Nurcholish Madjid is not a predicate based on success in fulfilling the formal legal of the Hajj fiqh, but rather a predicate that has spiritual and social implications in social life.</p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Hajj mabrur, fiqh, social, sufism</p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Orientasi spritual terbesar bagi setiap muslim dalam menunaikan ibadah haji yakni mendapatkan predikat haji mabrur. Lantas apakah predikat tersebut hanya sekedar predikat spritual? Penelitian ini akan mendiskripsikan pemikiran fikih sosial sufistik Nurcholish Madjid tentang makna predikat haji mabrur. Jenis penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang berupa kajian pustaka (<em>library research</em>). Sumber data utama yang digunakan, yakni buku karya Nurcholish Madjid yang berjudul Haji dan Umrah. Sementara itu, sumber sekunder yang digunakan, yakni berbagai penelitian yang relevan dengan fokus kajian penelitian ini. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini, yakni metode interpretasi pemikiran tokoh. Terdapat dua kesimpulan besar penelitian ini. Pertama, paradigma fikih integratif nurcholish Madjid, yakni paradigma integrasi antara fikih, sosial dan tasawuf. Paradigma integratif ini lah yang menurut Nurcholish Madjid dapat menjadikan fikih sebagai medium gerakan reformasi sosial. Kedua, predikat haji mabrur dalam perspektif Nurcholish Madjid bukanlah sebuah predikat yang berdasarkan pada keberhasilan dalam memenuhi legal formal fikih ibadah haji, melainkan sebuah predikat yang memiliki implikasi spritual (tasawuf) dan sosial dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat. </p><p><strong>Kata Kunci</strong> : Haji mabrur, fikih, sosial, tasawuf  </p>

Color Purple

This article attempts a womanist reading of Alice Walker’s The Color Purple. Walker provides a gendered perspective of what it means to be “black,” “ugly,” “poor,” and a “woman” in America. This perspective is ignored in the majority of male-authored African American texts that privilege race and class issues. Being “black,” “poor,” “ugly,” and a “woman,” underscores the complexity of the African American woman’s experience as it condemns African American women into invisibility. However, Walker’s characters like Celie, Sofia, Shug, Mary Agnes, and Nettie fight for visibility and assist each other as African American women in their quest for freedom and independence in a capitalist, patriarchal, and racially polarized America. This article therefore maps out Celie’s evolution from being a submissive and uneducated “nobody” (invisible/voiceless) to a mature and independent “someone” (visibility/having a voice). Two important womanist concepts namely “family” and “sisterhood” inform this metamorphosis as Walker underscores her commitment to the survival and wholeness of African American people.
