SUMMARY:Meet Asale Angel-Ajani for a talk about Fugitive Archives
DESCRIPTION:A new memoir by journalist Asale Angel-Ajani is an incisive\, lyrical exploration of one family’s history that radically overturns American myths about race\, violence\, and belonging. Angel-Ajani and her twin were the only Black children in a working-class White family. Years later\, confused by her personal history\, Angel-Ajani dove into the archives\, searching for an explanation for her family’s and her country’s contradictions\, writing a memoir that critics call courageous\, impressive\, and deeply powerful. Hers is a personal narrative that brilliantly intersects with the political — “jaw-dropping.” Join us for her book talk on Thursday\, November 12 at 5:30pm at The NewSouth Bookstore.
