520    "An incisive, intersectional essay anthology that 
       celebrates and examines romance and romantic media through
       the lens of Black readers, writers, and cultural 
       commentators, edited by Book Riot columnist and librarian 
       Jessica Pryde. Romantic love has been one of the most 
       essential elements of storytelling for centuries. But for 
       Black people in the United States and across the diaspora,
       it hasn't often been easy to find Black romance joyfully 
       showcased in entertainment media. In this collection, 
       revered authors and sparkling newcomers, librarians and 
       academicians, and avid readers and reviewers consider the 
       mirrors and windows into Black love as it is depicted in 
       the novels, television shows, and films that have shaped 
       their own stories. Whether personal reflection or cultural
       commentary, these essays delve into Black love now and in 
       the past, including topics such as the history of Black 
       romance, social justice and the Black community, and the 
       meaning of desire and desirability. Exploring the 
       multifaceted ways love is seen-and the ways it isn't-this 
       diverse array of Black voices collectively shines a light 
       on the power of crafting happy endings for Black lovers.
