The Black Book

A collaborative project of author and California Institute of the Arts professor Tisa Bryant and celebrated writer Ernest Hardy, The Black Book chronicles black life and thought through literature, cinema, and other media. Each chapter is a living archive: a photo album, mixtape, and love letter to the past, present, and future of black aesthetics.
