zacmonday 's review for:
White Like Me
by Tim Wise
A great primer for those beginning their studies of racial dynamics in America. At times, though, I felt Wise coming from a place of answers more than questions. I needed more questions to provoke my thinking. Other times, I worried Wise was speaking from a place of connectedness and uniformity I don't feel exists within any one race or ethnicity. I wanted to yell, "Stop, you're not speaking for me or to my experience."
The last piece that held up my appreciation for the text was Wise's style. Tell me what you want to tell me. Trust me as a reader to dig into it if I want, no need to restate over and over again. I'll get it. Trust me.
