Throughout history, the concept of Blackness has been remarkably intertwined with another color- blue. In daily life, it is evoked in countless ways. Blue skies and blue water offer hope for a life beyond the current conditions. But blue is also the color of deep melancholy and heartache, echoing Louis Armstrong’s question, \”What did I do to be so Black and blue?\” In Black in Blues, celebrated author Imani Perry uses the world’s favorite color as a springboard for a riveting emotional, cultural, and spiritual journey-an examination of race and Blackness that transcends politics or ideology.
