nuhafariha 's review for:
Black Girl, Call Home
by Jasmine Mans
Thank you to Berkley Publishing and NetGalley for the Reader's Copy!
Now available.
Emotional yet sharp, "Black Girl, Call Home" is an incredible collection that focuses on the Black American woman's experience. Running the gambit on everything from class and economic divisions to forced sterilizations to police brutality, Jasmine Mans explores these topics with a tender heart. What haunts me the most from this collection are the more sparse works like the list of names where Mans allows the simple horror and magnitude of pain ring true. Throughout the work, Mans mixes the personal and political until they are seamlessly intertwined, making the personal the political.
