\nhttps://archive.org/details/hummingbirdsintr0000fide  \nPraise for Hummingbirds in The Trenches  \n“Kondwani Fidel is a brilliant and bold voice of a generation ofhummingbirds.This book of essays and lyrics sing baritone from thedepth,from the complexities of the young Black experience in America.It is relevant.It is regal.It is real.\"  \n—Ibram X.Kendi,National Book Award-winning author of Stampedfrom the Beginning:The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America  \n\"Kondwani Fidel writes about issues that have been at the forefront of theblack American consciousness for generations.He shares personal accountsof death and struggle,but always with an eye beyond:a vision of the  \nstructural forces that put us here,and a belief in imagination and the powerto overcome that will get us past this place.He has come to understand thatdespite the personal blame that pundits would place on the supposed moralfailings of black people,the structural forces of poverty,mental illness,andunethical institutions are bigger than any one person.He has found a way totell these stories that speaks directly to the hearts of young people across thecountry and the world,and for that we should all be grateful.”  \n—Eve L.Ewing,The Norma Farber First Book Award-winningauthor of Electric Arches  \n\"Every time I feel a hint of emptiness,I fill it with hope.\"In Hummingbirdsin The Trenches,Kondwani Fidel digests the circumstances of every dayliving in Baltimore.His honest recollection of growing up in his city—oneplagued by poverty,inadequate schools,and violent murders—is a mustread till the end.Fidel skillfully guides readers down a narrow line—hisvulnerability on one side,his deafening power on the other.In the end,Fidelemerges a victor-  overtly aware of the ironclad,historical systemic racismthat continues to confine his community,yet stilla hopeful,suggestive voicewith a strong beliefin change.His essays willmake you cry tears of anger,but also tears oflight-hearted laughter.  \n—Stephanie Wash,Emmy Award Winning Producer andABC News Journalist  \n\"As a professor,I've had the luxury of developing new writers for yearsand I must say that Kondwani Fidel was never an amateur.He proves thiswith Hummingbirds in The Trenches,the follow up to his acclaimed RawWounds.Not only is Hummingbirds in The Trenches a deeply humanizingpage turner,it's a timely narative that gives us a glimpse into the BlackAmerica we rarely encounter in mainstream.Fidel has a gift for storytellingand has brilliantly constructed the type of memoir that reminds me of why Ifell in love with words.I highly recommend!”  \n\"What we are witnessing in Kondwani Fidel is a living archive of whatextraordinary price both triumph and tribulation Black America pays by thehour.Kondwani's words are a guillotine.His stories,measure the pulse of theforgotten.\"  \n—Tariq Touré,author of Black Seeds  \n“Kondwani's brutal,brilliant essays transport us to the truth of the
