Blackness Thirteen Ways by J. Vanessa Lyon (Hardcover)

Blackness Thirteen Ways is a blend of memoir and cultural criticism by art historian, poet and novelist J. Vanessa Lyon. Raised by her white mother and never knowing her Black father, Lyon reads images from fine art and popular media that shaped her identity as a mixed-race lesbian. Across thirteen distinct chapters she examines how race mixing has been represented. A thoughtful hardcover from Pantheon.
