My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

5.0

I was an instant fan of Cap Crucet's after reading her short story collection "How to Leave Hialeah." I was already planning on reading her newest collection of essays, but a video of some white college students burning the book and calling her "racist" made me instantly go out buy a copy. The collection is funny, sharp, and honest. By far, the best essay in this collection is "Magic Kingdoms," about Disney, fantasy, and Floridian/Cuban-American identity. While I prefer Capo Crucet's fiction, her nonfiction is well worth the read.
