Description
Eve L. Ewing's 1919 is a powerful exploration of the human stories at the heart of the Chicago Race Riot of 1919.
The poems in this collection bring to life the everyday people who lived through this traumatic event, and its aftermath, using speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to reimagine history.
By unearthing the universal at the heart of the particular, Ewing illuminates the fine line between past and present, shedding new light on a pivotal moment in American history.
