Description & Specifications

When Black people mourn, they do not only mourn the loss of loved ones. As a community, they also mourn the systemic inequalities, racist biases, and oppressions experienced daily. The stories and poems in this anthology highlight the unique ways in which loss affects the Black community and the impact of a widespread lack of understanding of traditional rituals and beliefs. They show how experiences of collective loss during the pandemic, the aftermath of the Grenfell Tower fire, and ongoing systemic health inequalities are experienced not only as individuals but also as part of a global community. Writers from a range of backgrounds, professional identities, and identities discuss the challenges of grieving in the face of enduring adversity, including deportation threats. Sources of strength and healing are also explored, from personal and spiritual responses to community initiatives and activism. Dark and inspiring, these are stories everyone needs to read, providing us insights into lives and losses that are often misunderstood and overlooked.
