The critically lauded author of The Beast Side and The Cook Up returnswith an [b]*existential look at life in* low-income black communities,while also offering a new framework[/b] for how we can improve theconversations occuring about them.
While author D. Watkins is pleased about the number of books exploring issuesof race that are being published, there's one crucial aspect of contemporaryblack life that doesn't get enough attention: the hood. The Baltimore nativeknows firsthand what it means to live in poverty, where violence and drugs areinescapable. As he sees it, the perspective of people who live in poor blackcommunities is largely absent from the work of many of the top intellectualswho speak and write about race.
Now, D. Watkins is here to tell his truth . Built upon Watkins's ownexperiences, We Speak for Ourselves eases us into the bigger conversationabout race and the various issues affecting poor black neighborhoods inAmerica. Unapologetic and eye-opening, We Speak for Ourselves identifies andaddresses a range of issues affecting these low-income communities--such asthe trouble with misrepresentation and why we need more than one black voice--and sheds light on the harsh realities of daily life. Additionally, Watkinsexamines various crucial activist movements, including the Civil RightsMovement, and asks what it means to be a model activist in today's world.
Through the personal retelling of his journey, Watkins aims to illuminate thelessons he's learned navigating through two very distinct worlds--the hood andthe elite sanctums of the prominent black thinkers and public figures--inhopes of providing actionable solutions.
