Black California: A Literary Anthology

Aparajita Nanda talks about her new book Black California: A Literary Anthology.

This event takes place at The Terrace Room, 4th Floor, Margaret Jacks Hall (Map).

"Black California pierces previous perceptions about California's political and social liberalism by presenting its racial history with honesty and human tragedy that is often ignored in the dominant narrative.

--Melba Joyce Boyd, Distinguished University Professor and chairperson of the Africana Studies department at Wayne State University

"The Black California anthology is a wonderful contribution to the literature.  The anthology conveniently places a hundred and fifty years' worth of writings in one volume. Additionally, this publication presents the work of obscure but nonetheless worthy authors alongside those who are more familiar to us."

--Rick Moss, chief curator at the African American Museum and Library at Oakland
