Description

Words & images come together in this collaboration between renowned poet Ntozake Shange & Kamoinge Inc., a group of acclaimed photographers whose work documents & celebrates the African-American (AA) experience. Collaborations between writers & photographers have provided AA with focus for issues of identity & representation ever since the first publication of “The Sweet Flypaper of Life” by Langston Hughes & Roy DeCarava in 1955. The Kamoinge members have sought to demystify Black life in America. With stunning images from such acclaimed photographers as Anthony Barboza, Adger W. Cowans, Ming Smith Murray, & poems by accomplished writer Ntozake Shange, this is a rich & thought-provoking book.
