My Vanishing Country: A Memoir by Bakari Sellers
3.0
I greatly enjoyed many parts of this book. I try to read more & more books about race, so my actions and thoughts will be more anti-racist.
The author shared many personal life events (and those of his family's) viewed through his lens, and this helps me understand the racism black men & women are facing.
He comes across as genuine and overall, a caring person.
Yet, I felt he over-simplified or just ignored the corruption of politics and other reasons people vote party lines beyond race, but overall, that was a pretty small portion of the book.
Overall, an enjoyable read about Barkari Seller's life.
