Available in hardcover, eBook, and digital audio editions. Paperback publishes in September 2021.
“Wandering in Strange Lands is in many ways a quintessentially American story.... Jerkins makes plain that denying space for Black identities in history is itself a legacy as American as its original sins of racism and enslavement. By exploring the truth of that past with such integrity, this memoir enriches our future.” —New York Times Book Review
Available in hardcover, eBook, and digital audio editions. Paperback publishes in July 2021.
“This book is necessary.... Headlee’s treatise on creating space for valuable mutual reciprocity is one that should become a handbook in any school, business or even a doctor’s office where the everyday person visits.”
