It Was All a Dream: A New Generation Confronts the Broken Promise to Black America by Reniqua Allen

3.0

Bahhh!! I want to love this book because I genuinely learned a lot from it, and as someone with great privilege it is important for me to learn as much as I can about the experiences of the oppressed. And I got that from the book, but I just really could not engage with Allen's writing nor the structure of it. Something about the balancing of her story with others' stories and statistics feels off to me. It's not so much a matter of it being bad, I don't think, it's just not a layout that I can easily engage with as a reader.
