Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices from the Latinx Diaspora by Saraciea J. Fennell

4.0

---

This book featured so many authors that I immediately had to look up after reading their essays. Each story shared unique and personal experiences as children of the African diaspora and the intersectionality between Latin American and Black cultures. I was glad to be introduced to Ibi Zoboi, who discussed how Haitian perspectives are often dismissed when it comes to Afro-Latine conversations. This book also single-handedly taught me Garifuna history, something school has never done. Overall, a vibrant and eye-opening read!
