Part memoir, part historical speculation, part dreaming, The Black Period by Hafizah Augustus Geter is a beautiful exploration of what it means to be a Black woman in America. Fraught with the tension of past and present racism, homophobia, Islamophobia, sexual and physical violence, domestic violence, and more, Geter tenderly traces the amorphous borders of her existence. This book will break your heart and fill you with angst and wonder.  It is deeply researched and deeply felt and I feel grateful to have recieved Geter's words in this universe.
