On Juneteenth by Annette Gordon-Reed

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

4.0

As a non-American, I found reading this book an enlightening experience; a chapter which is not taught in our schools. For me as an Australian, it made me think of controversies surrounding our own national holidays, such as Australia Day, which marks the point at which colonisation occurred on the Australian mainland.
