Out of the sun : on race and storytelling / Esi Edugyan.

Edugyan, Esi, (author.).

Summary:

History is a construction. What happens when we begin to consider stories at the margins, when we grant them centrality? How does that complicate our certainties about who we are, as individuals, as nations, as human beings? Through the lens of visual art, literature, film, and the authors lived experience, 'Out of the Sun' examines the depiction of Black histories in art, offering new perspectives to challenge the accepted narrative. Esi Edugyan is a two-time Scotiabank Giller Prize winner who lives in Victoria, BC.
