Jabari Asim on WBUR with Evan Horowitz, Jamie Bologna

In his latest book of essays, Jabari Asim takes on America’s complicated past and present when it comes to race and racism. These aren’t the kind of essays that end with a simple argument: “this is what we need to overcome racism.” They’re explorations, weaving past and present, art and news to give a multi-dimensional picture of blackness in America in 2018.
