5.0

This book is chilling, moving, and deeply unsettling, in a way that will make you think for days. Perkins-Valdez really reckons with the white savior problem and the implications of thinking you know best for people you know nothing about, and this book shines a light on the history of forced sterilization in our country that few know about.
