Of Color: Essays by Jaswinder Bolina

---

“[Whiteness is] the position of no position, the voice from nowhere or from everywhere, and in this it is Godlike.”
—page 33, “Writing Like a White Guy”

bolina doesn’t say anything particularly new in my eyes, but that doesn’t mean his voice isn’t worth something. strength in numbers, obviously. it’s always interesting to read essays from us-born children of immigrants, how they navigated their way through the whiteness of the world. bolina’s prose is strong—i would’ve been able to tell he was a poet before he said so. quick read, would recommend. alright, love n light, guys!
