In the second half of July, the Lviv publishing house "Chovyn," specializing in reportage and documentary literature, will publish an important book by Ukrainian researcher Oksana Bryukhovetska, "Voices of BLM" – a story of the present day of the United States of America that we don't know.

"Voices" is the result of numerous interviews and several years of work on the texts, which began in 2020 in the USA during the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests. These protests spread throughout the United States that same year after a white police officer deliberately murdered a Black man named George Floyd, and were supported in many countries around the world.

The characters in the book, telling their own stories, unfold before us a complex history of the present-day United States: the reader is presented with an America that we do not know, but which is the real America.
