เบเปเบฝเบงเบเบฑเบเบเบถเปเบกเบญเปเบฒเบเบญเบญเบเบชเบฝเบ
A collection of Theย New Yorkerโs groundbreaking writing on race in Americaโincluding work by James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Hilton Als, Zadie Smith, and moreโwith a foreword by Jelani Cobb
This anthology from the pages of theย New Yorkerย provides a bold and complex portrait of Black life in America, told through stories of private triumphs and national tragedies, political vision and artistic inspiration. It reaches back across a century, with Rebecca Westโs classic account of a 1947 lynching trial and James Baldwinโs โLetter from a Region in My Mindโ (which later formed the basis ofย The Fire Next Time), and yet it also explores our current moment, from the classroom to the prison cell and the upheavals of whatย Jelani Cobb calls โthe American Spring.โย Bringing together reporting, profiles, memoir, and criticism from writers such asย Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,ย Elizabeth Alexander,ย Hilton Als,ย Vinson Cunningham,ย Henry Louis Gates, Jr.,ย Malcolm Gladwell,ย Jamaica Kincaid,ย Kelefa Sanneh,ย Doreen St. Fรฉlix, and others, the collectionย offersย startling insights about this countryโs relationship with race.ย The Matter of Black Livesย reveals the weight of a singular history, and challenges us to envision the future anew.ย
