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

3.0

I wanted to like this book so much more than I did. Although I appreciate the personal nature of Yoshino's thoughts on covering, I think foregrounding his own experience actually leads to him ignoring or not contemplating the experience of other marginalized people. He also has some serious problems with how he construes the "choice to assimilate" in the book, often decrying it in one chapter and requiring it in another.
