Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights by Kenji Yoshino

4.0

We read this book last year as a campus. Or, I should say, some of us read it. I don't fully agree with the author, and at times I found myself spinning in circles with his arguments, but in the end, it made me think a great deal about how I represent my True Self to the world. The book is well written, and the author uses his own story to illustrate the points he makes about the damage that covering can do to one's psyche and one's relationships with others. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in gender, sexuality, or identity.
