Tina Kemp's Black Gaze

LZ Granderson: As activists and publishers, we're really functioning outside the bounds of institutional frameworks as we have known them. And I think because it's a huge privilege, it's a platform that we are really required to take seriously in ways that broaden our own commitments to anti-racist work in particular. LZ: For me, it has kind of just deepened the result that I have that has guided my career for many years into a priority. The book is an experience. It's solicitous, a visceral response to black precarity, but it also invites us into understanding our own positionality as readers, with reference to black joy.
