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. It includes extraordinary globe-spanning journalism, including pieces on the genocide against the Rohingya (<i>New York Times Magazine</i>) and the unintended consequences of a dengue fever vaccine (<i>Fortune</i>). Pamela Colloff details prosecutors' reliance on an untrustworthy jailhouse informant (<i>New York Times Magazine </i>in partnership with <i>ProPublica</i>), and a <i>ProPublica</i> series investigates the disaster that befell the USS Fitzgerald. <p/>The anthology showcases the work of remarkable stylists, including Jia Tolentino's cultural commentary (<i>New Yorker</i>) and Ligaya Mishan's columns on food and culture (<i>T: The New York Times Style Magazine</i>). Columns by s.e. smith consider disability (<i>Catapult</i>), and the DeafBlind poet John Lee Clark writes about art he can touch (<i>Poetry</i>). Jordan Kisner visits a Martha Washington-themed debutante ball in Texas near the Mexican border for <i>The Believer</i>, and Jacob Baynham offers a moving portrait of his father-in-law (<i>Georgia Review</i>). Arundhati Roy excoriates the increasing authoritarianism of Modi's India (<i>The Nation</i> in partnership with Type Media Center). The anthology concludes with Jonathan Escoffery's short story of homesickness for Jamaica, "Under the Ackee Tree" (<i>Paris Review</i>).<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Sid Holt is chief executive of the American Society of Magazine Editors and a former editor at <i>Rolling Stone</i> and <i>Adweek</i> magazines. <p/>Jonathan Dorn is president of the American Society of Magazine Editors.
