Unapologetic: A Black, Queer, and Feminist Mandate for Radical Movements
by Charlene Carruthers
I read this book due to the recommendation of Eve Ewing after the election of Brandon Johnson.
This book is fundamental. The call from Carruthers for us to find our why in the work…and to caution against the idea that selflessness is the motivation, will stick with me.
I recommend listening to the audio, as Carruthers reads it, and I loved hearing the passion and fervor in her voice.
As a white queer woman living in Chicago, an educator, and an individual committed to anti-racist work (and to uprooting colonialism in my own heart and mind), this book spoke to me and inspired me to get connected to people already doing the work here in the city.
The legacy of civil disobedience, and community-led resistance in Chicago specifically, has a long and storied history in the pursuit of justice and equity.
I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
