There are writers that make you pause, that make you re-think how you think. Imani Perry is one of those voices that enlarge how we understand our history. How we understand ourselves.

South to America takes us on that journey; a deeply researched, genre bending work of art, history, and story. Imani deploys delicate precision through which she makes clear: to understand America we must understand the American South. Winner of the National Book Award and a New York Times Bestseller, this inspiring book should be on every home’s bookshelf.

I read everything Imani Perry writes. So should you.
