Inside Black AF History Now: What's Really Happening in Black American History Today-and Why It Matters

By Fiona Hartwell

What if the real battles over Black history aren't about the past-but the present?

Inside Black AF History Now is a raw, unfiltered, and urgently necessary deep dive into what is truly happening in Black American history today-far beyond sanitized textbooks, political talking points, or feel-good narratives.

Drawing from research, lived experiences, historical evidence, and real stories unfolding across America, Fiona Hartwell exposes the modern forces shaping Black life right now: Voter suppression and shrinking political powerMass incarceration and the expanding carceral stateBook bans and attacks on Black history in schoolsMedical racism and the deadly health gapThe stolen wealth that built America-and the fight for reparationsMedia distortion and the battle for narrative controlA new era of organized resistance and movement-building

This isn't just a book about history.

This is a book about the history we are living through, the systems being built around us, and the struggle to expose the truth in a time of denial, backlash, and cultural warfare.

Perfect for readers of 19th, The New Jim Crow, The 1619 Project, Caste, and Between the World and Me, this book delivers clarity, depth, and courage at a moment when honest conversations about race are being restricted, punished, or erased.

If you want to understand what's truly at stake for Black America today-and why this moment will define the future-this is the book.
