Publisher's Summary

*A Zibby's Most Anticipated Book of 2023*

*A "Next Big Idea Club" Must-Read Book for January*

*An Essence "Books by Black Authors to Read This Winter" Pick*

A piercing collection of essays on racial tension in America and the ongoing fight for visibility, change, and lasting hope

“There are stories that must be told.”

Acclaimed novelist and scholar Daniel Black has spent a career writing into the unspoken, fleshing out, through storytelling, pain that can’t be described.

Now, in his debut essay collection, Black gives voice to the experiences of those who often find themselves on the margins. Tackling topics ranging from police brutality to the AIDS crisis to the role of HBCUs to queer representation in the black church, Black on Black celebrates the resilience, fortitude, and survival of black people in a land where their body is always on display.

As Daniel Black reminds us, while hope may be slow in coming, it always arrives, and when it does, it delivers beyond the imagination. Propulsive, intimate, and achingly relevant, Black on Black is cultural criticism at its openhearted best.

Black on Black

Dr. Black is a motivator. His stories are like the threads woven into cloth. We can see ourselves in all of his stories. I highly recommend his Audible Edition.
