Stunning ... An enlightening, multifaceted and thoroughly engrossing look at what blackness means and has meant through the centuries
In its breadth, beauty and candour, this is a beguiling collection. And if, after reading it you leave with more questions than you started - which might be a complaint in a lesser book - then I suspect it has achieved its aim
