Here is the medicine: That though the heart is breaking, happiness can exist in a moment, also. -Alice Walker, Forward, Barracoon
Excited for more thoughtful work (like this from @parul_sehgal) that thinks care, survival, and the long shadow of slavery in Barracoon nytimes.com/2018/05/02/boo…
My brilliant colleague Autumn Womack On Zora Neale Hurston's 'Barracoon' for the Paris Review: theparisreview.org/blog/2018/05/0…
How do you produce evidence of black life without reducing black people to inanimate facts and data? theparisreview.org/blog/2018/05/0…
I wrote an essay about Hurston, Barracoon, and the challenge of narrating the afterlife of slavery theparisreview.org/blog/2018/05/0…
