Ordinary Notes by Christina Sharpe
dark

reflective

medium-paced
4.0
Organized by numbered notes, in sections with connected themes, Sharpe recounts anecdotes from her life, stories of unprovoked violence on black individuals, historical events and figures, quotes, musings on art, poetry, and much more to form a narrative on racism, social justice, and cultural critique. Heavy, but important. I have not read nearly as much anti-racism works of late and needed this. Toni Morrison’s Beloved features prominently.
