I found this book challenging but informative. It is a genre I’m not usually engaging with, and it was nice reading about the experience of Black Americans through an informed and honest eye. The only reason I rate this lower is the emphasis on terminology..I understand the importance of getting these topics right, but I would have appreciated less picking apart of the language and more on his lived experience.
