Black Futures

Unique and unlike any other book I own, the book provides insights to the truths, experiences, triumphs and challenges of what it is like to be black in the universe through images and words. You'll read this in a different way, leaping in and out of it frequently, no start, no end, a continuous, beautiful collective - a modern history book. Kudos to Kimberly Drew and Jenna Wortham on the vision. This is beautifully bound and will look great on your coffee table, but more than a coffee table book. More than a conversation starter - it IS a conversation and an important one to have. What a collision of beauty and pain looks like.

Many of my favorite writers were included in this and I discovered new favorites too! I also learned a lot and there's so much I didn't know that I want to research more.

Bought Black Futures for a birthday gift and couldn’t help but flip through myself. This book is so much more than a coffee table book, but a gallery of experiences and musings. Gorgeous hardcover and unique varying page layouts create for an elevated, exploratory, and fun reading experience.

Love the layout and content of this book. A lot of important history - art and otherwise. Wish every library had a copy!

I’m putting 5 stars for the actual book content because yes!! Very excited to read this through and through.I would take some stars away on Amazon’s end though. Unfortunately, like many, my book came dented up and sticky so I’m a bit annoyed by that.

This book introduces you to so many awesome black artists and creators

No problem with the content which is superb, but my copy had a 2 inch tear in the bindingUpdate: I returned the book and received a replacement promptly. My replacement also was damaged on the binding but not to the point of being torn.

If you're Black and are looking for encouragement please buy this book. You will see how despite our challenges we refuse to let society contain us. We will exist and cause the world to change.
