Info

READ THIS Storytelling is at the heart of the AphroChic brand, and of course it's the central reason that we present our favorite books to you in each issue. This issue's selections are nonfiction books that still offer that idea of telling stories — of representation, of history, and of the African Diaspora. The Art of Ruth E. Carter showcases the stunning film costumes designed by Carter, the first Black woman to win two Academy Awards in any category. The book offers her sketches, photos from iconic movie sets, and Carter's stories of inspiration, passion for history, and her journey into Afrofuturism. A group of chefs and food enthusiasts from the Bronx make up the Ghetto Gastro collective. In Black Power Kitchen, they present recipes mixed with storytelling to craft conversations about race, history, food inequality, and how eating well can be a pathway to personal freedom and self-empowerment. Peter Brathwaite, a renowned opera baritone, found himself with time on his hands during the pandemic and began to research Black portraits through history. Rediscovering Black Portraiture showcases Brathwaite's reimagining of each portrait with a dual modern version, highlighting and retelling the stories of the original subjects who had been lost to time. Black Power Kitchen by Jon Gray, Pierre Serrao, and Lester Walker Publisher: Artisan. $23 Rediscovering Black Portraiture by Peter Brathwaite Publisher: Getty. $40 The Art of Ruth E. Carter by Ruth E. Carter Publisher: Chronicle. $36 10 aphrochic
