"Dr. Chris is a phenomenal man! He has gone above and beyond for others. I highly recommend."

"AfroCNM does not look away from the structural economics that have shaped, constrained, and sometimes crushed the intimate lives and choices of African Americans. While this unflinching honesty is foundational, what rises from it is extraordinary: a portrait of human connection in its most creative, resilient, and tender forms. Arrangements of love and kinship forged under conditions that should have made them impossible. This is not a book about what was lost. It is a book about what was built anyway, and what continues to be built. For those of us reading from outside this history, there is something humbling about being admitted to this knowledge. This is some of the most quietly astonishing scholarship I have read in years."
