An impressive and illuminating collection that rejects Blackness in
America as a singular experience and instead illustrates the range
of Black experiences and voices
*Time, 21 Most Anticipated Books of 2021*
A polyphonic work that unites writers, historians, lawyers, poets
and activists ... From Morgan Parker's poem Before Revolution to
writer Bernice L McFadden's soaring exploration of Zora Neale
Hurston's genre-defining writing, it's something quite
incredible
*Stylist*
Highly readable and far more compelling than a mere historical
digest would have been ... This collection teaches us that nothing
about the latest crisis is new ... a vital addition to that
curriculum on race in America and should serve as a gateway to the
solo works of all the voices in Kendi and Blain's impressive
choir
*Washington Post*
A provocative, stirring anthology . . . Four Hundred Souls weaves a
tapestry of unspeakable suffering and unexpected transcendence
*O: The Oprah Magazine, 20 of the Best Books of February 2021 to
Fall in Love With*
