The anthology features excerpts from major projects that challenge American certitudes: the <i>Washington Post Magazine</i>'s "Prison" issue, detailing the scope of mass incarceration, and the <i>New York Times Magazine</i>'s "The 1619 Project," which recenters the nation's history around slavery and its legacies.
