Ward's treatment of contemporary Black life in the US and her commitment to community and care through the exploration of historical and present-day violence resonates in other Black and marginalised communities the world over and is central to what makes Ward an urgent, critically important voice in contemporary literary studies. This volume responds to the depth and resonance of Ward's writing, which to date includes three novels, a memoir, an edited collection of essays and a set of personal essays. It is broad and ambitious in scope, mirroring the richness of Ward's oeuvre, and it brings together a diverse and dynamic range of approaches that reflect the scholarly conversations in which Ward is embedded.
