A review by lillihayes
Black and Blue: a memoir of racism and resilience by Veronica Gorrie

5.0

I mean, if you didn’t think we should defund the police before reading this, I challenge you not to after. Whilst I wanted my review to solely read: ACAB - that wouldn’t do justice to Gorrie’s story. She is so gracious in letting us into her life, her family and the generations of horrors they’ve experienced at the hands of white people and police since invasion. I hate it when people refer to survivors of trauma as strong but Gorrie seems… really fucking strong?
