radaction 's review for:

BlackLife: Post-BLM and the Struggle for Freedom by Idil Abdillahi, Rinaldo Walcott
3.0

As many people complain/notice, the first chapter is confusingly written in academic language with bad grammar. The second and third chapters are more of a smooth read. I value what I learned from this book, including hyper local black history of Toronto neighbourhoods and refreshingly personal takes on formative texts. If nothing else, read the intro and conclusion.
