My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

4.0

When I first heard of this nonfic. exploration of identity from a WOC in a society (academia and beyond) built on whiteness, I knew that I had to read it. My friends and I talk frequently about what it's like to be a first gen. WOC in academic and let me just tell you, IT IS HARD. From the daily microaggressions to being asked to be the voice of all black/latinx/etc. people. It's real. This is one of the first times i've seen such a nuanced response to this experience.

Bonus because, like me, the author is a Nebraskan. ❤️
