The Trouble of Color: An American Family Memoir by Martha S. Jones

informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

The research that went into this book is astounding. Jones really puts he chops as a historian on display. I love the intimacy of the book. It does feel long and slow in parts in a way that felt very much like this was something she needed to write for herself. I appreciated the lyrical style and the tension of race and it's shifting boundaries.
