Out of the Sun

History is a construction. What happens when we begin to consider stories at the margins, when we grant them centrality? How does that complicate our certainties about who we are, as individuals, as nations, as human beings? Through the lens of visual art, literature, film, and the author's lived experience,Out of the Sunexamines the depiction of Black histories in art, offering new perspectives to challenge the accepted narrative. (From House of Anansi Press)
