Audrey is one of our awesome Library Assistants and has a couple of great nonfiction recommendations for Black History Month.
First up is "The Cooking Gene" by Michael Twitty. Audrey says, “Twitty uses meticulous research and his own knowledge as a chef to connect to his enslaved Southern Black ancestors. It’s part memoir, cookbook, history book, and genealogical survey— his writing is lush and immersive.”
Audrey also recommends, "Black Writers of the Founding Era 1760-1800 edited by James G. Basker" and says, “This incredible anthology spans well-known 18th century Black writers like Phyllis Wheatley to dozens of first-person narratives previously never published. Poems, letters, criminal confessions, court transcripts, private journals, petitions for freedom, dreams, and much more fill in the gaps of history that otherwise would have been lost completely."
