4.5

Brown’s style of writing is very accessible and easy to follow. The book is very experience based and draws on personal experience to illuminate broad issues. I would widely recommend this book. Brown does center some of her discussion on Christianity, which didn’t feel particularly relevant to me specifically, but might prove very relevant to other readers!

I liked this, but it was a little too much Christianity for me.  I don't think it was meant to make me think that Christianity in the US is too far gone and too far into whiteness to be salvaged, but it did. But Ms. Brown seems like she's doing great work, and I'm very happy for her. I think it might be particularly helpful for folks who might be committing microaggressions in the workplace and not realize.
