The book is a lyrical account that captures the beauty and hostility they experienced in the world, set against a backdrop of Black art, culture, history, and politics. Eshun's narrative is a testament to the resilience and creativity of these individuals, as they navigate the complexities of their identities and the societal pressures they face. The Strangers is a testament to Eshun's ability to weave biography, fiction, historical record, and memoir, offering a rich and immersive experience for readers.
