511 1 Read by Daveed Diggs, Lena Waithe.
520 Recommended by Jason Reynolds on PBS News Hour "Don't
think for one minute that Black Imagination is easy. As
you will read here, it is hard-earned and sometimes
dangerous, but it's necessary, and radical, to claim and
work towards. Listening to my people in this book gave me
so much life, and I'm pretty sure, dear reader, you're in
for the same." (From the foreword by Steven Dunn)
"Witnessing is sacred work, too. Seeing ourselves as whole
and healthy is an act of pure rebellion in a world so
titillated by our constant subjugation", reflects viral
curator Natasha Marin, on Black Imagination. This dynamic
collection of Black voices, performed by Tony and Grammy
Award-winning actor, rapper, and producer Daveed Diggs and
Emmy Award-winning writer, creator, producer, and actor
Lena Waithe, works like an incantation of origin, healing,
and imagination. Born from a series of conceptual art
exhibitions, the perspectives gathered here are no where
near monochromatic. "Craving nuance over stereotype, we
sought out Black children, Black youth, LGBTQ+ Black folks,
unsheltered Black folks, incarcerated Black folks,
neurodivergent Black folks, as well as differently abled
Black folks." Each insists on their own variance and
challenges every listener to witness for themselves that
Black Lives (and Imaginations) Matter. "A first step
toward freeing ourselves." (Gloria Steinem) "I've never
felt the physical feeling of pages melting in my hands or
chapters folding themselves into squadrons of black
airplanes flying to freedom because I've never experienced
an art object like Black Imagination." (Kiese Laymon,
author of Heavy) "Black Imagination required Natasha Marin
to curate as a curate in the medieval sense - a spiritual
guide that cares for souls.... We are challenged to move
beyond the abject, beyond pure pessimism, on the wings of
a different criticality...'visioning a world where none is
lonely, none hunted, alien'." (Christian Campbell, author
of Running the Dusk) "Defiantly hopeful...think Soul Train
Line, think The Stroll, think the joyous striving with
language for the possibilities of safety and hope." (Kwame
Dawes, author of Nebraska) Cover art by Vanessa German.
