Us, Now is a collection of stories connecting Newfoundland and Labrador to the world via racialized Newfoundlanders. These are stories that fit George Elliot Clarke’s thinking on what a truly Canadian national tale might be: local, yet connected, broadly and diversely. But at its core, this book, as editor Lisa Moore sagely wrote, “is a book about belonging. Sometimes in these stories, belonging is fragile and fought for, but the act of writing from a place and about a place is belonging—the sometimes sacred, sometimes scary act of witnessing means writers always stand apart and, at the same time, are a part of.”
