 and beautiful meditation on the color blue - and its fascinating role in B
 lack history and culture - from National Book Award winner Imani Perry. Th
 roughout history\, the concept of Blackness has been remarkably intertwine
 d with another color: blue. In daily life\, it is evoked in countless ways
 . Blue skies and blue water offer hope for that which lies beyond the curr
 ent conditions. But blue is also the color of deep melancholy and heartach
 e\, echoing Louis Armstrong's question\, "What did I do to be so Black and
  blue?" In this book\, celebrated author Imani Perry uses the world's favo

 cs or ideology."&nbsp\; From the publisher.</p>\n<p>This book is available
