Her work is to put those stories into the big picture of American culture-past, present, and future. Intersectional, personal, and hard-hitting in places, while ultimately centering on truth, love and perseverance, Black Lives, American Love weaves the stories of America's pursuits with Maroon's own experiences. The result is a personal biography of America offered from the thoughtful viewpoint of a Black anthropologist. The essays take on some of the country's fiercest debates and most profound challenges with an unflinching style: from the invention of race and debates about The 1619 Project, to the rippling impacts of resurgent White Nationalism, the birth of Black Lives Matter Movement, and the ongoing traumas of police brutality.
