• catalog abstract "From the author of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Let the Dead Bury Their Dead comes a group portrait of African Americans at the turn of the twenty-first century. In a blend of oral history and travel writing, Randall Kenan sets out to answer a question that has long fascinated him: What does it mean to be black in America today? To find the answers, Kenan traveled America--from Alaska to Louisiana, from Maine to Las Vegas--over the course of six years, interviewing nearly two hundred African Americans from every conceivable walk of life. We meet a Republican congressman and an AIDS activist; a Baptist minister in Mormon Utah and an ambitious public-relations major in North Dakota; militant activists in Atlanta and movie folks in Los Angeles. The result is a sharp, full picture of contemporary African American lives and experiences.".
