Beschreibung
Critical early acclaim: Lewis won a prestigious Whiting Foundation grant to complete the book, one of the most competitive writing awards in the US. Timely subject: This is a book about slavery and the intimate connections between Africa and America-a new take on a cresting subject that will be of interest to readers of the 1619 Project and related initiatives. A-list blurbs: William Finnegan (Whiting judge for Lewis's work); Stephanie Jones-Rogers, Adam Hochschild, Saidiya Hartmann, and Robin D.G. Kelley are all likely blurbers. Excellent public media potential: Lewis is an up-and-coming journalist and a regular contributor to PRI and other public radio outlets, where she reports on Africa, the environment, and agriculture. Fascinating human interest potential: Lewis wrote and reported much of the book from Dakar, Senegal, and she brilliantly captures place descriptions and the links between past and present in Africa, with real characters that are ripe for profiles. von Lewis, Jori
