“Privilege is a peculiar possession. To those who possess it, privilege is weightless, tasteless, odorless, soundless, and colorless. Those who have the least access to it are painfully aware of its mass, density, taste, odor, texture, sound, and color.”
In this book, Sen writes about her experience as an emigrant from Calcutta. A unique and clever look at race, privilege, and whiteness.
I really loved the beginning of this memoir. During the middle chapters, I thought her arguments weren't quite as focused, or engaging. The last chapter was my favorite of the entire book - incredibly well-written.
