Celebration of "Kin" by V Efua Prince
Please join Wayne State University Press to celebrate Kin, a new book of fiction by WSU faculty, V Efua Prince. Books will be for sale courtesy of Source Booksellers, and a signing will take place during the event.
About the Book:
Kin is a story and a celebration of Black womanhood, of resistance, and of perseverance.
Kin is a tree—alive in places, broken in others—that offers shelter for women seeking respite in the midst of family-making. This tree depicts family grafted together by blood, law, or choice; its stories are voiced through blues-infused poetry, one-act plays, oral history, and reportage that are combined to form an orchestra of Black history and re-memory.
Centered on the labor of women and the work of building associations that make up the home, this book takes up the rhythms and multifarious forms of its inspiration, Cane, the 1923 novel by Jean Toomer.
"In Kin: Practically True Stories, V Efua Prince has woven a complex, painful, and powerful tapestry of stories, poetry, theatrical script, song, and journalistic accounts about African American history, presence, and being."
—Kerry Neville, author of Remember to Forget Me and Necessary Lies
