Rapturous, formidable, an instant classic., Farah Jasmine Griffin's gorgeous essays reveal the genius, resistance, and freedom dreams of Black artists. Her insights give us hope; her words are endless beauty.

Synopsis
Named a Most Anticipated Book of 2023 by The Millions Lively, insightful writings on Black music, feminism, literature, and events from a "masterful critic and master teacher" (Walton Muyumba, Boston Globe)., In Search of a Beautiful Freedom brings together the best work from Farah Jasmine Griffin's rich forays on music, Black feminism, literature, the crises of Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, and the Black artists she esteems. She moves from evoking the haunting strength of Odetta and the rise of soprano popular singers in the 1970s to the forging of a Black women's literary renaissance and the politics of Malcolm X through the lens of Black feminism. She reflects on pivotal moments in recent American history-including the banning of Toni Morrison's Beloved-and celebrates the intellectuals, artists, and personal relationships that have shaped her identity and her work. Featuring new and unpublished essays along with ones first appearing in outlets such as the New York Times and NPR, In Search of a Beautiful Freedom is a captivating collection that celebrates the work of "one of the few great intellectuals in our time" (Cornel West)., In Search of a Beautiful Freedom features Farah Jasmine Griffin's dynamic writings on Black music, feminism, literature, and recent events. With dazzling range, Griffin moves from Billie Holiday to Odetta, Angelique Kidjo to Beyoncé. She delves into Malcom X's politics, "textual" healing in Black feminist novels, and Gayle Jones's fiction. She finishes by reflecting on concerns like the banning of Toni Morrison's Beloved and moments of possibility-Michelle Obama becoming First Lady and Allison Janae Hamilton's future-facing art. Featuring essays both new and previously published, this collection brings together the work of "one of the few great intellectuals in our time" (Cornel West).
