Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White by Lila Quintero Weaver

4.0

The art here has a photojournalistic feel- Black and White, lots of cross hatching, representative of reality. The entire project is photojournalistic- her dad’s photo developing, her blow by blow narrative of her childhood during civil rights era Alabama, navigating Argentina and the US, her trip back as an adult with one of her adult children. She is grappling with race in this memoir, but I would have liked to hear how those childhood experiences with racism inform her own anti racist views now.
