The Black Interior | Elizabeth Alexander

(Published in 2004) "Each day's news brings word of human atrocity and violation, as too many of us linger in pernicious and calcified ideas of who "the other" is. In desperate times when a citizen's raised voice seems to make no difference at all, it feels useful to turn again to the art and popular culture with which we speak across difference, from each to each, to say This is who I am, and thus, this is who we, collectively, are." #citizenry

This book was such a revelation when I read it at the turn of the century. Time for a reread? Maybe a newer edition #howardzinn #apeopleshistoryoftheunitedstates #civicparticipation #democracyisnotaspectatorsport #electionday #citizenry
