A really clear and powerful look into what it means to be a black woman in the corporate world. It looks at how class, race and gender plays a role.

a gripping and important read. i read it in one sitting. the themes and some of the lines stick with you for days after, however the pacing and style of writing was difficult to follow at times for me. if you like intellectual and poetic writing, you may appreciate it more.

Great commentary on every day racism and constant microaggressions. A very important book, and I'm glad I read it but the disjointed narrative style didn't work overly well for me personally

In just over 100 pages of fragmented prose, Natasha Brown dissects the racism inherent in everyday life in the UK. From endless microaggressions to very direct slurs, Brown examines the legacy of British imperialism and how it affects our narrator's every interaction. Assembly is a story about agency, detachment, identity, and generational oppression.

Overall, I loved Assembly. This novella was bleak, heart-wrenching, and thought-provoking. An excellent book - not to mention debut! - from Natasha Brown.
