Inspired by Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day?, these joyous portraits of real Black men provide both mirrors and windows. Have you ever wondered . . . What do brothas do all day? Brothas drive. Brothas dance. Brothas work. Brothas listen. And brothas love. This joyous reflection of Black men and boys engaged in everyday life celebrates the deep roots and rich cultures of African American communities. From grocery shopping and waiting for a trim at the barbershop to singing, dancing, and laughing with friends, author and illustrator Ajuan Mance captures the beauty in the ordinary, affirming the enduring strength of the Black community.
Ajuan Mance is a visual artist, an author, an editor, and a professor of English at Mills College in Oakland, California. Inspired by Richard Scarry's What Do People Do All Day?, she created the groundbreaking series 1001 Black Men, a collection of portraits produced over six and a half years that later evolved into this book. She is a prolific maker of zines and comics, as well as the author of Living While Black: Portraits of Everyday Resistance. You can learn more about her work at ajuanmance.com.
