A New York Times Bestseller New York Times Book Review Editor’s Choice How do you learn to be a black man in America? For young
black men today, it means coming of age during the
presidency of Barack Obama. It means witnessing the deaths
of Oscar Grant, Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Akai Gurley,
and too many more. It means celebrating powerful moments of
black self-determination for LeBron James, Dave Chappelle,
and Frank Ocean. In Invisible Man, Got the Whole World Watching, Mychal
Denzel Smith chronicles his own personal and political
education during these tumultuous years, describing his
efforts to come into his own in a world that denied his
humanity. Smith unapologetically upends reigning assumptions
about black masculinity, rewriting the script for black
manhood so that depression and anxiety aren’t considered
taboo, and feminism and LGBTQ rights become part of the fight. The questions Smith asks in this book are urgent—for him,
for the martyrs and the tokens, and for the Trayvons that
could have been and are still waiting.
