Enter to win 'Southbound: Essays on Identity, Inheritance, and Social Change' by Anjali Enjeti
A little thank you for being a Foreign Bodies subscriber
I’ve been a fan of Anjali Enjeti’s work since I first met her through the Asian American Journalists Association in Atlanta. She’s an absolute force—an author, an organizer, a teacher and the kind of person who really looks out for fellow writers of color. This year, she has two books out, a debut novel called The Parted Earth, and this month’s giveaway pick: Southbound: Essays on Identity, Inheritance, and Social Change. Enjeti’s debut collection features 20 essays tackling white feminism, voter suppression, the rise of nationalism worldwide, the whitewashing of southern literature and so much more. It’s the kind of collection I’ll be recommending time and time again. Entries for this giveaway will be accepted through Friday, May 14 at 8 p.m. EST. This giveaway is only open to paying subscribers or comps (gifted subscriptions). If you’re interested in subscribing but haven’t yet—click here!
Praise and love for Southbound:
“A spirited, well-turned collection suffused with cleansing anger and hunger for change.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“Anjali Enjeti’s Southbound is the conversation you’ve been meaning to have with a friend about changing the world for the better. Informed, thoughtful, and compassionate, Southbound is required reading for these times.”
—Jessica Handler, author of The Magnetic Girl
“Southbound is a potent tonic for our times-ambitious in its scope and refreshing in its candor. These are fiercely intelligent essays that examine the complexities of how power works on, through, and maybe even for us. Recommended reading for anyone interested in doing the same.”
—Lacy Johnson, author of The Reckonings
Also highly recommend this wonderful interview with Enjeti in The Rumpus.
