In Poems of Division: Racial Capitalism and the American Legacy , the rich complexity of America's racial history is explored through the power of verse. Drawing from the themes of exploitation, systemic inequality, and the enduring legacy of racial capitalism, this collection offers a poignant and thought-provoking reflection on the forces that have shaped the nation's social and economic landscapes. Each poem delves into the historical roots of racial division, from the brutal systems of slavery to the economic hierarchies that continue to divide society today. With lyrical precision and emotional depth, these poems explore the intersections of race, labor, and power-reminding us that the systems which once justified slavery and discrimination still echo in the inequities faced by marginalized communities. But Poems of Division is not just a recounting of injustice-it is also a call to action. These poems serve as a powerful charge to reflect on the divisions that persist in modern society, urging readers to confront the ongoing struggles for racial and economic justice. Through this collection, the reader is invited to reckon with the legacies of the past and to envision a future where equality is not just an aspiration, but a lived reality. A companion piece to The Birth of Racial Hierarchy and Capitalism in the United States , Poems of Division transcends history, providing a poetic voice to the forces that continue to divide and define the American experience.
