Description
xA profound and poetic memoir, tracing the wounds that racism and colonialism have left on Black people across borders.
With astute insight and immersive prose, Bonhomme outlines a personal and political history of life in the United States, Haiti, and Germany, discovering what it means to be Black at home and abroad. She unlearns the lies that she was told about slavery and colonialism and explores how communities are resisting the weight of centuries of history.
Whether examining debt, medical racism, art, or reparations, Tending to Our Wounds cuts a breathtaking course between the past and the present, the individual and the collective--identifying the tendrils of history in the everyday and outlining a path to real freedom.
