- Used Book in Good Condition
What does it mean to have, or to love, a black body? Taking on the challenge of interpreting the black body's dramatic role in American culture are thirty black, white, and biracial contributorsâ€”award-winning actors, artists, writers, and comediansâ€”including voices as varied as President Obamaâ€™s inaugural poet Elizabeth Alexander, actor and bestselling author Hill Harper, political strategist Kimball Stroud, television producer Joel Lipman, former Saturday Night Live writer Anne Beatts, and singer-songwriter Jason Luckett.
Ranging from deeply serious to playful, sometimes hilarious, musings, these essays explore myriad issues with wisdom and a deep sense of history. Meri Nana-Ama Danquahâ€™s unprecedented collection illuminates the diversity of identities and individual experiences that define the black body in our culture.
