White Tears/Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad

anniefwrites's review against another edition

challenging informative medium-paced

Hamad covers a lot of ground with this book--from history to representation in the media, from workplace conflict to current events. I was grateful to learn about this topic from someone who is both passionate and critical. As a reader, I think having subheadings would have helped me keep track of the topics being discussed, but in general, it's a book that I'll be processing and applying over time. Learned a lot, and lots more to learn.
