NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK BY: Time, USA Today, People,
AARP, Harper's Bazaar, Today.com, BookRiot, Bustle, LitHub, BookPage, The
Millions, Ms., Our Culture, Electric Literature, W, and VultureA surprising and
beautiful meditation on the color blue&#8212an its fascinating role in Black
history and culture&#8212frm National Book Award winner Imani
PerryThroughout history, the concept of Blackness has been remarkably
intertwined with another color: blue. In daily life, it is evoked in countless ways.
Blue skies and blue water offer hope for that which lies beyond the current
conditions. But blue is also the color of deep melancholy and heartache,
echoing Louis Armstrong&#8217squestion, &#8220Wht did I do to be so Black
and blue?&#8221In this book, celebrated author Imani Perry uses the
world&#8217sfavorite color as a springboard for a riveting emotional, cultural,
and spiritual journey&#8212anexamination of race and Blackness that
transcends politics or ideology.Perry traces both blue and Blackness from their
earliest roots to their many embodiments of contemporary culture, drawing
deeply from her own life as well as art and history: The dyed indigo cloths of
West Africa that were traded for human life in the 16th century. The mixture of
awe and aversion in the old-fashioned characterization of dark-skinned people
as &#8220Ble Black.&#8221The fundamentally American art form of blues
music, sitting at the crossroads of pain and pleasure. The blue flowers Perry
plants to honor a loved one gone too soon.Poignant, spellbinding, and utterly
original, Black in Blues is a brilliant new work that could only have come from
the mind of one of our greatest writers and thinkers. Attuned to the harrowing
and the sublime aspects of the human experience, it is every bit as vivid, rich,
and striking as blue itself.
