- Description
- Details
Is the book better than the film? In this case, we think they complement each other.
The very scarce book to accompany Jafa's important video essay of the same name. In the film, sequences of found images and video clips from his collection to create a poignant statement on Black life in America. Jafa explores themes of race, identity, and systemic oppression in America with rapid-fire editing and emotional visuals. He captures the beauty, pain, and resilience of the Black experience, offering a powerful reflection on love, trauma, and the struggle for justice.
Book has very minor corner wear. Near fine condition.
Greg Tate and Christina Sharpe provide essays on the film.
