Surviving the White Gaze: A Memoir by Rebecca Carroll

4.0

This book is stellar. Carroll has a gift of writing beautifully without writing pretentiously. Her style is natural and profound. This story of Blackness, racism, abuse, manipulation, self and so much more was deeply moving. Carroll doesn’t play up trauma but instead examines it and allows her reader to unpack and decide for themselves. I am impressed with the strength and vulnerability in this story.
