Reclaiming Our Space: How Black Feminists Are Changing the World from the Tweets to the Streets by Feminista Jones

4.0

Rounding up from a 3.5. Feminista Jones' book discusses Black feminists and their contributions to the digital space. Her words were accessible, centered on Black women, and gave me some readings to add to my TBR list. However, I agree with others that the book has a memoir quality because it's full of primarily personal discussions about Jones' work, thoughts, and connection to the feminists discussed. It doesn't make it any less informative or enjoyable to read, but it's not what I expected from the description. Though I applaud her choice to highlight other salient aspects of her identity (the Black Mamas Matter essay was among my faves), I wish Feminista Jones had further discussed her queer identity in context.
