## Description

The Black Book : Harris, Middleton A.: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: This a major book on Black American social history in the form of images. - THE BLACK BOOK is a major statement on Black American social history, life and literary cultures, especially the history of pain, humiliations and erasure of the black people. This book shows aspects of black lives that we are not trained to see. The book takes the reader to the heart of black life in America by tracing black lives before and after a black person came to be associated with slavery. There are pictures, photographs, reports, notes, writings, and lives that tell us what we were not supposed to know or acknowledge: that the dehumanization of the black people was neither accidental nor sudden. The role played by Toni Morrison in the production of the book is huge. Morrison's two single page entries capture Morrison at her best. The Foreword is a synoptic account of what is included and what is not, and tells us that this is the book that every black person has written. Along with Preface, we see in this book the finest samples of her dark epiphanic writing--beautiful, frightening and yet persuasive at the same time.
Review: This book is astounding and insightful - Love that this book got the reprint that it truly deserves. I am just into five pages of it and wow am I ever bowled over by the revelation and the material presented. It is about time that we get the story of an America that mainstream and the white majority or the" schooled and successful" continue to deny or ignore for too long. I am in the diaspora, twice and no way am I anyway close to what the Afro-American had endured for decades and decades of untold misery as nothing more than a tool or chattel by their human owners.. And in sense in a greater slavery through the policies at work and firm with their roots in systemic prejudices. Particularly telling was the article about a black woman who murdered her children rather than have them endured what she did. This book has certainly whet my appetite for more of the fringe history or narrative, of people in America, especially those considered a minority..
