The Ways Of Black
Folks: A Year in the Life of a People is about just that, people. These are
ordinary stories by ordinary people. It's just that simple. Some subjects were
specifically chosen for the book, while other subjects were picked at random.
Their stories, however positive and negative, are their own as individuals. No
story is more important than another, however collectively, all of these stories
tell us something about who we are as African Americans, Afro Brazilians, Afro
Caribbean and West Indians in Britain. For fourteen months, I traveled nearly
150,000 miles searching for these stories. From the frigid cold of Toronto, the
rainy streets of London, the smoggy skies of Sao Paolo, and the warm beaches of
Ghana, black people had stories.
