My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

informative reflective medium-paced

4.25

I’m using this book to lead discussions with students in my First Year Experience class. Jennine writes in a way that many of my students can relate to as new college students, and also is approachable enough for us to have deep and meaningful conversations about their fears and concerns regarding college and meeting the expectations of their parents “American Dream.” Each chapter can be read as a stand-alone essay, which also adds to its approachability for folks that might not typically choose a book focused on race, white supremacy, and first-gen experiences.
