A review by bookalong
Monsters: a reckoning by Alison Croggon
A mix of memoir and critical theory in this deep dive investigation of one families history of colonialism and white supremacy.
MONSTERS is a driven narrative and tough to review. An important takeaway from this I think was that all us white people need to look back like Croggon has at our own families history with colonialism, and aknowledge how white privilege has shaped you, benefited you and how it impacts your relationships, especially with people of color. Realizing what white privilege is and how it affects people of color and their opportunities in this world is a good starting point for change. We are very much shaped by where we come from, our parents, our parents parents, and so on and so on. Being honest and critical about where we come from and the role that plays in our own lives is so important if we are going to create equality for the future.
Thank you so much to the publisher for sending me this book opinions are my own.
