Book Summary
In a not so distant and very near dystopian future where black history is all but forgotten, three friends, Abeni, Ida, and Soweto, unknowingly embark on an Afro-surreal journey over the summer that will change not only their lives, but the lives of all whom they share so much with. What begins as a vacation forces them to become familiar with their past in order to have a direct influence on the future. Under the guidance of an unforeseen force, strange things begin to happen that bring them closer to uncovering truths and taking them to a place that they and others never thought they would see.
In bin Vilio’s novel, three Black women encounter spirits during a road trip just before the nation descends into chaos.
Promised Land would be a great choice for those looking for compelling stories of the under-represented experiences of Black Muslim women. It is a good opportunity to spend more time in understanding intersectionality and the complexities within the many communities that identify as Black & African American. Each person is a mixture of their family’s unique story, their birthplace, their religion, and so much more-this novel a shining testament to that.
