I'm very for real when I say this: Camonghne Felix is one of the baddest writers who ever put pen to paper. She is writing on some next-level/other shit that niggas in the 32nd century are gonna be like "WOW! Our ancient Ancestors could write like that???" That is, if there are books in the 32nd century. And niggas. And niggas are permitted to read. Because you know how this world is. So read Felix while you're still allowed.
Dr. Donald Earl Collins's FOOL'S GOLD: CONFESSIONS FROM AN EDUCATED FOOL is testimony in the great tradition of Black truth-telling, saying out loud the things that we're all thinking and/or avoiding, and making them fully plain. Subscribe for the rigorous intelligence. Stay for the absence of bullshit.
I am thrilled to have found the writings of someone who cares for humanity deeply enough to tell truth even when the world is insisting upon lies. It FEELS LIKE HOME because Alex Lewis is standing firmly in Ancestral traditions of honesty, which is to say love.
Author Frederick Joseph's keen sociopolitical analysis.
I don't come across writers like Jamila Minnicks very often--writers who love Black people and are committed to telling our stories, our way, with us in mind, and our souls as priority. She's not just a pleasure to read, but also a balm to read.
Jack of all literary trades explores politics, art, and identity.
I'm in awe of the courage, intelligence, love, and wisdom of Kim TallBear, who writes with such precision about the pathologies and dangers of empire and the colonial mindset that it does exactly what it is supposed to do, on multiple levels: unsettle.
