About this product
Product Information
From the New York Times bestselling author of The History of White People and Old in Art School , a finalist for the NBCC Award, comes a comprehensive new collection of essays spanning art, politics, and the legacy of racism that shapes American history as we know it. Throughout her prolific writing career, Nell Painter has published works on such luminaries as Sojourner Truth, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Malcolm X. Her unique vantage on American history pushes the boundaries of personal narrative and academic authorship. Led by an unbridled curiosity for her subjects, Painter asks readers to reconsider ideas of race, politics, and identity. I Just Keep Talking assembles her writing for the first time into a single volume, displaying the breadth and depth of Painter's decades-long historical inquiry and the evolution of Black political thought--and includes a dazzling introduction and coda being published for the first time in this collection. From her mining of figures like Carrie Buck and Martin Delaney for their resonance today, to a deep dive into the history of exclusion through the work of Toni Morrison, to a discussion of the American political landscape after the 2016 election, Painter nimbly portrays the trials of a country frequently at war with itself. Along with Painter's writing, this collection offers her original artwork, threaded throughout the book as counterpoint and emphasis. Her visual art shows a deft mind turning toward the tragedy and humor of her subjects; pulling from newspapers, personal records, and original sketches, Painter's artwork testifies to the dialectic of tremendous change and stasis that continues to shape American history. These essays resist easy answers in favor of complexity, the inescapable sense of our country's potential thwarted by its failures. This collection will surely solidify Painter's place among the finest critics and writers of the last half century.

Reviews
"Consistently brilliant, restlessly curious and profoundly empathetic, Nell Irvin Painter's voice is simply indispensable. This decades-spanning collection pulls together some of her most elegant, engaged and urgent work. With a historian's sense of context and a poet's gift of language she lays bare truths we've collectively ignored and points us toward the democratic possibilities we have yet to realize." --Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia Journalism School and author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress. "Nell Painter has never minced words. Here, as she puts it, she keeps talking--in essays and artwork ranging from the 1980s to our own fraught moment, in explorations of Blackness and Whiteness, of the past and the present, of the verbal and the visual. This is a book filled with four decades of insights from one of America's most important historians. We all need to listen--and to see." --Drew Gilpin Faust, author of Necessary Trouble and former president of Harvard University "Give thanks that Nell Irvin Painter won't stop talking--and thinking and writing and bringing the truth. And give thanks for these sage words on art, on history, on Blackness, on America, on survival from this bone-strong woman who keeps on keeping on, in glorious insistence." --Honorée Fanonne Jeffers, author of The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois " I Just Keep Talking reads like an intellectual adventure story. Nell Irvin Painter moves from Oakland to Ghana, Harvard, Princeton, and--late in the game--art school, grappling with subjects ranging from Southern-plantation gender relations and Ralph Waldo Emerson's Viking obsession to the founding of MOMA and the real meaning of MAGA. She writes that readers may be 'amused' by her book's title, and what it suggests about her persistence; just as likely, it will leave them wanting to hear more." --Amy Davidson Sorkin, "Nell Painter is one of the most important and versatile American historians of the last half century. This stunning array of essays, following on her earlier memoir of turning to art, contains a potent autobiographical sizzle from introduction to the end. She settles scores, shows her brilliant chops as a historian devoted to specifics, to the uniqueness of Southern history, and ranges into politics, social affairs, identity and whiteness, and finally her own turn to visual art. Prolific, provocative, and with a voice all her own, Painter reveals with admirable vulnerability a mind in transit through time." --David W. Blight, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom "Nell Irvin Painter is an historian, a journalist, and a visual artist. Whatever her subject--race, gender, class, art, politics--she finds the surprising complication; ponders the unresolved question. Race, she writes, is 'an ongoing discourse.' So is this vibrant, compelling book." --Margo Jefferson, National Book Critics Circle Award Winner and author of Constructing a Nervous System "Nell Painter is one of the most important, influential and prolific historians of the United States... I Just Keep Talking is a gorgeously written journey through her life from her birth as a daughter of the great migration, to her retirement from academe and beyond. . .readers will learn a great deal about the country and just as much about how to craft a life of purpose and joy." --Imani Perry, National Book Award-winning author of South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation "Consistently brilliant, restlessly curious and profoundly empathetic, Nell Irvin Painter's voice is simply indispensable. This decades-spanning collection pulls together some of her most elegant, engaged and urgent work. With a historian's sense of context and a poet's gift of language she lays bare truths we've collectively ignored and points us toward the democratic possibilities we have yet to realize." --Jelani Cobb, dean of the Columbia Journalism School and author of The Substance of Hope: Barack Obama and the Paradox of Progress.
