erica_palmisano's review against another edition

dark emotional informative reflective sad slow-paced

4.5

Thoughtfully framed, well-narrated, personal yet very relatable, this book is a great entry in the Rethinking American Racism canon. I hope it inspires a lot more ways/instances of sharing the history of slavery in the US.
