BE’s Fall/Winter 2023–2024 Issue
We’ve never been so cold. Our fall/winter issue explores, with a cool and objective eye, memory and history; it may give you some necessary de ja vu, as we think of family, books, and films we want to preserve. This is our interview/review issue, and we’ve spoken to people or reviewed work that seems necessary for building better futures. Our interview with Amos White argues for the preservation of life-giving and life-affirming trees. We’ve also included reviews of heart-opening books — Tara Christina’s “More than a Drop” and Caron Knauer’s “American Slavery on Film” — that reinforce the significance of familial and collective memory. And Kim Brandon’s work always serves as a reminder to fight, to resist, to not give in.
— The Editors: Tara, Ahmad, and Rochelle
