A review by mrsdoubtflyer
The Evidence of Things Not Seen by James Baldwin

informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Short, deep, and analytical. An exploration and rumination on the Atlanta child murders, the trial related to them, and what the whole handling indicates about the intertwined nature of racism and capitalism and the stories cities (and countries) and want to tell about themselves. So many resonances to the current moment and enduring truths about whose lives are seen to matter least, which people are deemed disposable and why, where we place our faith in the absence of compelling evidence, and what it all says about us as a people.
