What if we brought together 10 poets who could write poetry based on 40 years of African-American history each? What if this community of 90 writers would end up writing the history of a community?” When that idea came to me, I knew the project was going to be massive, and that there was only one person who could help me pull it off: Keisha Blain. But I didn’t think that writing another single-authored history book would be celebratory or innovative enough. ![]() I wanted to commemorate the symbolic birthday of Black Americans and what later came to be known as the United States. Kendi: Yes, and in 2018, the idea for “Four Hundred Souls” came. Before long, we were co-editing Black Perspectives and collaborating on op-eds.

However, the world existing in this book is not real life, and it was in the 19th century no less – the time in which women were still considered men’s property. “Whitney, My Love” is the typical “bodice ripper” historical romance novel, featuring an alpha male – Clayton Westmoreland, Duke of Claymore – whom I think no woman with a sensible mind in real life should be involved with, let alone falling in love, and then getting married to, like what Whitney Stone did in the story. This is the first book that Judith McNaught wrote (although not the first one by her to be published), and that explains why it is problematic. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pale and tearful, she spends her time alternately crying and sleeping on the couch while her mother tries to feed her chicken soup and her brother attempts to talk her into understanding the source of her distress in order to knock her back to her senses. ![]() In the second part of the book, Franny is home after suffering the nervous breakdown during dinner with her boyfriend.
