Pure brilliance. Ruha Benjamin nurtured this seed I've been holding in my chest these last several years around what it means to live a life centered around social (racial, environmental, disability, gender...) justice, and it has become a bud that will bloom into a lifelong commitment.

In this powerful, beautifully written, and incisive exploration of racial justice Princeton professor Ruha Benjamin merges memoir, studies of systemic racism and its effects, and the stories of people creating change on the level of the personal and individual. This is an impactful introduction to racial justice—though I felt Benjamin’s intended emphasis on inspiring individual action was overwhelmed by the necessary survey of mass injustices.
