In this NPR Best Book of the Year, a mixed–race punk rock musician must face the real dangers of being Black in America in this “wise meditation on race, authenticity, and belonging” (Nylon). Chris L. Terry’s Black Card is an uncompromising examination of American identity. In an effort to be “Black enough,” a mixed–race punk rock musician indulges his own stereotypical views of African American life by doing what his white bandmates call “Black stuff.” After remaining silent during a racist incident, the unnamed narrator has his Black Card revoked by Lucius, his guide through Richmond, Virginia, where Confederate flags and memorials are a part of everyday life. Determined to win back his Black Card, the narrator sings rap songs at an all–white country music karaoke night, absorbs black pop culture, and attempts to date his Black coworker Mona, who is attacked one night. The narrator becomes the prime suspect, earning the attention of John Donahue, a local police officer with a grudge dating back to high school. Forced to face his past, his relationships with his black father and white mother, and the real consequences and dangers of being Black in America, the narrator must choose who he is before the world decides for him.

With strong visual elements integrated throughout, this smart, intimate collection is demonstrative of punk by being punk itself: underground, rebellious, aesthetic but not static—working to decenter whiteness by prioritizing other perspectives.

Terry, contributors to the collection include critic Hanif Abdurraqib and Mars Dixon, conversations with Brontez Purnell, and a roundtable of all femme festival organizers.

This memoir reflects on the experiences of a Leavis pupil during the final years of Dr. Leavis at Downing College, using letters from Dr. Leavis and Q. D. Leavis as focal points. It recounts the tumultuous atmosphere of that time, exploring the reasons behind the damage done and the nature of a specific incident while seeking healing. The narrative addresses the issue of "pastoral care" for students and the complexities of learning in the shadow of a national icon. It highlights the personal connection to Dr. Leavis, acknowledging both its privileges and emotional challenges, while reaffirming the importance of his creative achievements in celebrating life-sustaining values amidst modernity’s flux post-1918. The text also laments the divisive debates within Downing School from 1963 onward, which undermined the values intended to be established. It suggests that a cult-like reverence for "the great man" led to zealotry and revisionism, creating distance and dependence that ultimately harmed the cause and individuals involved. The account speculates on the crisis affecting Dr. Leavis, documenting his personal immersion and emergence. It examines the generational conflicts within Cambridge and the administrative challenges of transitioning from a controversial figure. Additionally, it fondly remembers Morris Shapira, the Director of Studies since 1963, whose unique and selfless teaching left a lasting impact during his tenure.
