This Is What Inequality Looks Like by Teo You Yenn

4.0

3.5 stars. This pairs very well with Liyana's book, [b:Homeless|51073835|Homeless|Liyana Dhamirah|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1565351408l/51073835._SX50_SY75_.jpg|72708683]. I appreciated these essays unpacking the obscuring and rather damaging Singapore mythology of progress and wealth, Singaporean nationalism, the subtle condescension and judgment middle class and wealthier people have for low income people, the qualitative and affective experiences of low income people beyond statistics and numbers, and many other really good topics. It made me much more aware of my class privilege and gave language to things I had noticed but couldn't name.
