Description
Bakari Sellers' My Vanishing Country is a poignant and powerful exploration of the lives of America's forgotten black working-class men and women. Anchored in his hometown of Denmark, South Carolina, this memoir and historical analysis delves into the pride and pain that continues to shape the state's rural communities. Through his personal history, Sellers sheds light on the struggles faced by those living in poverty, including access to healthcare, employment, and cultural heritage. He shares stories of his family members, neighbors, and friends, humanizing the experiences that often go unreported in the media. This book is also a love letter to fatherhood, as Sellers reflects on the lessons learned from his own father's life and looks towards the future for his newborn twins.
