My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet
5.0
I gave this 4.5/5 stars.
This is a collection of essays by the author who is an American with parents who were Cuban refugees. Too often, we (white Americans) lump all Latinx Americans together (like this heritage month) but their experiences are so diverse. Somehow my relatives can understand why our Polish roots and our German roots are distinct but not the difference between Mexican heritage and Cuban heritage. The author explores what it means to be American and to be Cuban American.
I thought it was fantastic and will definitely be reading more by her!
