Description
Warrior's world is one of mysticism and madness, where the harsh realities of life as a young Black man in America are starkly apparent. In 1993, Warrior navigates the streets of Harlem and Brooklyn, surrounded by deep family love and a connection to his history that arm him against the forces that seek to destroy him. The urban landscape is fraught with danger, from the supernatural to human threats, and Warrior must confront these challenges head-on. His experiences are not unique, however - the struggles he faces are echoed in the lives of countless Black families, past and present. This powerful novel tells a story that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. Through Warrior's journey, we see the enduring impact of systemic oppression on young Black men, and the ways in which trauma can haunt even the mind itself. Passage is a searing portrayal of life in America, one that speaks to those who have lived it and those who are still fighting for their place in the world.
