Disorientation: Being Black in the World by Ian Williams

challenging dark emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

Amazing book. At first, I was a little hesitant because of Williams' liberal politics, but jeez, these essays were amazing. I found countless points that I could relate to, and that inspired my own writing. Williams is able to describe the Black experience in a white world so succinctly and powerfully that the whole book feels like one big gut punch.

The essays Disorientation, Ten Bullets on Whiteness, Four to Eighteen Days, Between Us, and Sighting especially stood out to me. Please pick up this book and give it a good read. Both you and Williams deserve it.
