About the book

Out of the Sun gathers reflective essays that examine how stories at the margins reshape our sense of identity and belonging. Through close readings of visual art, literature and film, the author traces Black histories that have been overlooked or reframed.

Combining personal memory with cultural analysis, the essays move between criticism and memoir to illuminate varied Black experiences across global contexts. The writing asks how centering marginal narratives complicates familiar ideas about nation, self and collective memory.

For readers interested in art, contemporary culture and race, this collection offers nuanced perspectives and thoughtful close readings.
