Black Everyday Lives, Material Culture and Narrative

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"This is the only book that I've ever read that manages to capture how we really lived from day to day back in the day. It's a book like no other. Many of us have been waiting for a book like this. Ras Shawn-Naphtali has given the world a book that is intelligent, accessible, cultural, and lyrical, but true. This is a great contribution to the documentation of our history. This book did so much for me. It made me consider our struggles, our aspirations, and the art in our lives." - Professor Benjamin Zephaniah

"Sobers uses his inclusive Small Anthropology creatively and incisively to show being and becoming of Black materiality in the home that speaks to us subjectively, intergenerationally, and cross culturally." - Dr Michael McMillan

"Shawn-Naphtali Sobers presents an essential body of work and a must read primer for anyone interested in the significance of visual ethnography, anthropology, sociology, or interdisciplinary and mixed methodology. Shawn unapologetically renders the power of narrative, objects, and memory enmeshed within the realities of Black culture and history, transporting us into a state of consciousness that is indeed not burdened." - Dr Sireita Mullings
