How to Say Babylon by Safiya Sinclair

Well, this story is certainly a journey of self discovery.  The author writes a harrowing memoir about the difficulties and realities she faced growing up in a Rastafarian household in Jamaica.  She was oppressed, and abused, until she gained the courage and strength to leave her family for America.

It’s a powerful story of family, forgiveness and overcoming obstacles.  I had no knowledge of the lifestyle the author grew up in nor did I realize the extent to which it was bound up in Patriarchal traditions.  I certainly learned a lot.
