My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

emotional funny reflective sad fast-paced

4.0

in my time among the whites, the author explores her Cuban identity alongside her American identity, white privilege, and her experience with imposter syndrome. her writing is both witty and serious, sharp and wavering. several of the essays in this collection are extremely moving and powerful, portraying the impact of white supremacy on so many facets of American society. Crucet’s exploration of her relationship with her father is incredibly vulnerable and beautiful and i wish our society didn’t teach men that strength is found in the denial of their emotions

i did find the first selection of essays slightly less interesting than the latter or maybe they just lingered a little too long
