Placing famed almanac writer Benjamin Banneker at the forefront, Benjamin Banneker and Us weaves together past and present to explore the insidious forces of racism that shape our understanding of ancestry, lineage, and family today.
Lyrically written, Rachel Webster's Benjamin Banneker and Us examines her own ancestry and relation to Benjamin Banneker, the African American mathematician and writer of almanacs who surveyed Washington, DC, for former president Thomas Jefferson. Acting as a griot, Webster draws on oral history and conversations with "DNA cousins" to imagine the lives of their shared ancestors, among them Banneker's grandparents, an interracial couple who broke the law to marry when America was still a conglomerate of colonies under British rule. These stories shed light on the construction of "whiteness" and the laws that gave it meaning. Webster's passionate and authoritative account adds to the growing body of work addressing structural racism and the inevitable reckoning on race, history, and the legacies of slavery that still affect our society.外文書商品之書封，為出版社提供之樣本。實際出貨商品，以出版社所提供之現有版本為主。部份書籍，因出版社供應狀況特殊，匯率將依實際狀況做調整。
