description: An anthology of African-Canadian writing Black Writing Matters offers a cross-section of established writers and newcomers to the literary world who tackle contemporary and pressing issues with beautiful sometimes raw prose. As Whitney French says in her introduction Black Writing Matters injects new meaning into the word diversity [and] harbours a sacredness and an everydayness that offers Black people dignity. An invitation to read share and tell stories of Black narratives that are close to the bone this collection feels particular to the Black Canadian experience.
