Beautiful prose, and engagingly relevant.
The narrator observes the different positions her race puts her in: from situations of overt corporate racism, to the awkward, insincere interactions with her white boyfriend’s family, to the unavoidable otherness she feels at his family’s home. She examines the place and influence of her Blackness as currency in both liberal and conservative politics and what it would take theoretically to change any of it.
