Blackness Is a Gift I Can Give Her: On Race, Community, and Black Women in Hockey by R. Renee Hess
I loved this book! It was a great insight into Black Girl Hockey Club. I loved the interviews. I loved the research. I loved the plain language. Absolutely spectacular.
Two of my favorite highlights are below:
“You see, I may not be a hockey mom, but I’ll claim the role of hockey auntie any day.”
“Gender, sexuality, race— these are social constructs created to divide us and build false walls around us, so that we don’t feel empathy for our fellow human beings.”
I received an advance review copy for free from NetGalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
