Now available in paperback, an insightful exploration and moving
meditation on identity, art, and belonging from one of the most
celebrated writers of the last decade.
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 Sun examines Black histories in art, offering new
perspectives to challenge us.
In this groundbreaking, reflective, and erudite book, two-time
Scotiabank Giller Prize winner and internationally bestselling author
Esi Edugyan illuminates myriad varieties of Black experience in global
culture and history. Edugyan combines storytelling with analyses of
contemporary events and her own personal story in this dazzling first
major work of non-fiction.
