Disorientation: Being Black in the World

With that one eloquent word, disorientation, Ian Williams captures the impact of racial encounters on racialized people. Inspired by the essays of James Baldwin, in which the personal becomes the gateway to larger ideas, Williams wants to reach a multi-racial audience of people who believe that civil conversation on even the most charged subjects is possible. Examining the past and the present in order to speak to the future, he offers new thinking, honest feeling, and his astonishing, piercing gift of language. Residence: Toronto, ON. Print run 10,000.
