A Comprehensive Book Guide of The 1619 Project The famed 1619 Project of the New York Times is as interesting for the second half of its title as it is for the first. What is the project of this vast undertaking; what are its main findings and messages, as well as its underlying methodologies and objectives? There is an elusiveness, almost a malleability, pervading a piece of journalism — or history, or perhaps anything in between — founded on the specificity of a particular date. Part of the difficulty in evaluating it stems from the variety of ways in which the project has been presented: There's the Aug. 18, 2019, print and online edition of the New York Times Magazine special issue; a broadsheet edition that same day; a podcast spinoff; a new, lengthy book version; an illustrated children's book; and the many responses, updates, and essays published by the Times defending, enhancing, or otherwise explaining the project. These themes combine to create an ongoing and robust work that sparked a national seismic discussion about the legacy of slavery and persistent racial injustice in American society. It's also a work with many opposing impulses, which may be confusing and conflicting at times. This is apparent in "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story," a book that softens some of the previous magazine collection's edges while also transcending its original mission as a historical corrective, informing readers what they must now do or risk personal involvement in the hurtful story in which they have just been told.
