NPR Marie ClaireIn late August 1619, a ship
arrived in the British colony of Virginia
bearing a cargo of 20 to 30 enslaved people from
Africa. Their arrival led to the barbaric and
unprecedented system of American chattel slavery
that would last for the next 250 years.

Project8221issue reframed our understanding of
American history by placing slavery and its
continuing legacy at the center of our national
narrative. This new book substantially expands on
that work, weaving together 18 essays that
explore the legacy of slavery in present-day
America with 36 poems and works of fiction that
illuminate key moments of oppression, struggle,
and resistance. The essays show how the
inheritance of 1619 reaches into every part of
contemporary American society, from politics,
music, diet, traffic, and citizenship to
capitalism, religion, and our democracy
itself.This is a book that speaks directly to our
current moment, contextualizing the systems of
race and caste within which we operate today. It
reveals long-glossed-over truths around our
nation8217sfounding and construction - and the
way that the legacy of slavery did not end with
emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary
American life.Cover image Lorna Simpson
