Uzodinma Iweala: United States of Ambivalence, Gebunden

Klappentext

From the award-winning author of Beasts of No Nation and Speak No Evil, an insightful and deeply relevant collection of essays about America as it stands now.

Known for his piercing understanding of race in America, Uzodinma Iweala delivers three piercing essays about our civil rights, and how race affects all our lives, most notably today amid rising bigotry and a raging culture war. A Black American of Nigerian descent now living abroad, Iweala is a medical doctor as well as a novelist, and he brings together his gifts for analysis and literary narrative in this thought-provoking and meaningful work.

Reflecting on the last decade, Iweala offers insights into the history of the Black Lives Matter movement as well as other fraught topics, including abortion, health care, sexuality, immigration, and politics. Powerful and informed, mature in outlook and devastating in clarity and truth, The United States of Ambivalence captures the doubt, conflict, and uncertainty of being an American today.
