Black Writers Matter: Revised Edition

Editat de Whitney French Cuvânt înainte de Afua Cooper
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 noi 2021
An anthology of African-Canadian writing, BLACK WRITERS MATTER offers a cross-section of established writers and newcomers to the literary world who tackle contemporary and pressing issues with beautiful, sometimes raw, prose. As editor Whitney French says in her introduction, Black Writers Matter "injects new meaning into the word diversity [and] harbours a sacredness and an everydayness that offers Black people dignity". An "invitation to read, share, and tell stories of Black narratives that are close to the bone", this collection feels particular to the Black Canadian experience.

Recenzii

"Black Writers? African, Bluesy, Classical, Disrespectful, Erudite, Fiery, Groovy, Haunting, Inspiring, Jazzy, Knowing, Liberating, Militant, Nervy, Optimistic, Pugnacious, Quixotic, Rambunctious, Seductive, Truculent, Urgent, Vivacious, Wicked, X-ray sharp, Yearning, Zesty. And so, they matter!" -- George Elliott Clarke
"Reading these stories gave me both joy and grief." -- Afua Cooper
"Black Writers Matter is an extraordinary achievement, a bold and loving gathering of Black writing in its sublimity; its stylistic and thematic complexity; its regional, cultural, generational, and experiential differences; its fiercely constellated energy. Whitney French and the talented contributors to this book offer us vital new writings within a two-hundred-year legacy of yearning and truth-telling. Please read this book." -- David Chariandy, author of Soucouyant and Brother
"This book is as pretty as a present you can't bring yourself to open. And it is just as beautiful on the inside. Marvellous and life-changing for many people, I'm sure." -- Donna Bailey Nurse, columnist for CBC Radio's The Next Chapter
"Collected in these pages are voices that need to be urgently heard, engaged and reckoned with. Black life, Black Canadian life, Black Canadian diasporic life in full colour and full of desire is on offer in Black Writers Matter. " -- Rinaldo Walcott, professor at University of Toronto and author of Queer Returns: Essays on Multiculturalism, Diaspora and Black Studies
