3. "This book was easily my most immersive and unique reading experience of 2020. It's a collection of essays, art, memes, conversations, recipes, lyrics, and more that attempt to detail and encompass the experience of Blackness, both as a time capsule of this moment and a dream for our future." is the embodiment of the saying "Blackness is not a monolith". The topics found in the book range from Black Indigeneity to BDSM, from ocean preservation to Colin Kaepernick.
If you love sports, but are finding it harder and harder to cheer for your favorite teams because you hate rooting for the owners and organizations that run them, this is your book. This book covers brain injuries, racism, domestic violence, and the ways we can hope to move forward in creating a sports world that has room for both social justice and our fandom. This book feels particularly relevant as we watch sports in 2021 through the lens of leagues and teams putting profit over players in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic.
