Being Black in America
Frustrated. Fearful. Angry. Weary. These are some of the words African
Americans have used to describe their feelings about being Black in America
in 2020. Coupled with a pandemic that has disproportionately affected people
of colour, police killings of Black men and women have heaped outrage on top
of hurt. The Being Black in America series explores the events, the emotions,
and the experiences that have forced a collective reckoning on race and racial
injustice. Personal accounts and thoughtful narrative add context and depth
to these volumes. LIST: $47.95/DISC: $38.36 • DEWEY: 323.11
