We Quit America: Our Exit from a Country Designed to Kill People is part memoir, part social critique, and part how-to. It is our story of quitting after years of working on the American project, an experiment in democracy that so far has failed more than it has succeeded, especially for Black people, Native Americans, and other groups deemed as inferior to white people. We are not shy about our critique of the United States of America. We believe that some Black people ought to find their way to African nations or at least to nations where Black people and people of color are the majority. Not because those nations are perfect but because they can give us the space to catch our breath and design the life we deserve. We hope that Black people who are already convinced to leave might read our book and move from threatening to do so, to making plans, to actualizing their exit. We also hope that our book might be a gentle nudge if you have never considered quitting. Where you are born or raised isn’t where you must live.
