And so, they matter!\" âGeorge Elliott Clarke An anthology of African-Canadian writing, Black Writers Matter offers a cross-section of established writers and newcomers to the literary world who tackle contemporary and pressing issues with beautiful, sometimes raw, prose. As editor Whitney French says in her introduction, Black Writers Matter âinjects new meaning into the word diversity [and] harbours a sacredness and an everydayness that offers Black people dignity. â An âinvitation to read, share, and tell stories of Black narratives that are close to the bone,â this collection feels particular to the Black Canadian experience. |
