White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue ... and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation by Lauren Michele Jackson

challenging informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

From music to food to fashion to activism, Jackson expositions just how deeply anti-Blackness and the appropriation of Black culture are entrenched in the zeitgeist. She sticks to examining the American context, but given how widespread the consumption of anything American is, we can't exempt ourselves from this culpability on a global level. I've pretty much highlighted most of the book so I can't pull quotes. Please read it.
