2022
Books
From the pages of the 'New Yorker' comes a bold and telling portrait of Black life in America, with astonishing early work from Rebecca West's account of a lynching trial and James Baldwin's 'Letter from a Region in My Mind' (which later formed the basis of 'The Fire Next Time') to more recent writing by Toni Morrison, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Zadie Smith, Hilton Als, Jamaica Kincaid, Malcolm Gladwell, Elizabeth Alexander, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Doreen St. Félix, Henry Louis Gates Jr., Kelefa Sanneh, and more. Reaching back across the last century, 'The Matter of Black Lives' includes a wide array of material from the 'New Yorker' archives ranging across essays, reported pieces, profiles, criticism, and historical pieces.
