Loss, grief and anger paint poignant memoir.
Jesmyn Ward's Men We Reaped is a powerful and heart-rending memoir that explores the impact of racism, poverty, and exclusion on the lives of black men in rural Mississippi. Through her own experiences of loss and grief, Ward conveys a sense of palpable anger and frustration at the systemic injustices that have claimed the lives of so many in her community. Her prose is both lyrical and hard-hitting, and she deftly weaves together personal anecdote, social commentary, and historical context to create a rich and nuanced picture of life in the Deep South. A must-read for anyone interested in race, class, and social justice.
