Revolution
Books is thrilled to host Erin with her debut book. This lively and
thoughtful volume explores what it means to be black in an allegedly
postracial America.
Here
are thirty-three insightful and wide-ranging pieces of literary,
cultural, political, and personal reporting on the contemporary black
American experience. Drawn from the Los Angeles Times, LA Weekly, Salon.com,
and elsewhere, this collection also features major new articles on
President Barack Obama, black and Latino conflicts, and clinical
depression. In each, Kaplan argues with meticulous observation,
razor-sharp intelligence, and sparkling prose against the trend of black
erasure, and for the expansion of horizons of the black American story.
ERIN AUBRY KAPLAN
has covered black issues as a journalist for twenty years, including
nine years as a staff writer for LA Weekly, and two years as a weekly
op-ed columnist for the Los Angeles Times. She is a regular contributor
for many publications, including Salon.com, Essence, Black Enterprise,
BlackAmericaWeb, Ms. and the Independent. She is also a regular
columnist for make/shift, a quarterly, cutting-edge feminist magazine
that launched in 2007.
