"This personal biography of America, offered from the thoughtful viewpoint of a Black anthropologist, takes on some of the country's fiercest debates and most profound challenges with an unflinching style. Black Lives, American Love is a relentless truth-telling about our country's failures to its Black population-yet it is also a discussion on how we might all do more to secure America's still vastly beautiful possibilities of liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all rather than a few"-- Provided by publisher.
