magis1105 's review for:
The Fire This Time: A New Generation Speaks about Race
by Jesmyn Ward
This is hard to rate. This is very similar to a collection of short stories, you can't connect to all of them the same way. Some of the essays were emotive and touching, most mentioned situations I was not familiar with, not being from the country and having almost no interaction with social media like Twitter I missed most events. But still seeing there have been so many, so often, and worse still there surely has been plenty more that have not made it to the big media exposure these ones had.
IT is not a good feeling when you have to rate this, this is people sharing their own personal experiences, you can't rate a person's life. In this case, what we are trying to do is give an opinion of the feelings you get while reading the book.
I think is a very good read, when you are able to see something people have been facing for years and yet not many acknowledge it, some insist that they do not realize others are going through such situations turning a blind eye or just makes up excuses to cover up the true nature of the behavior of the aggressors.
Worth the time and effort to read it. Even if you are not living in the country or part of the ethnic group of the people sharing their life experience, it is always beneficial to get the perspective of people who have a different background than you. The only way to battle indifference and discrimination is by understanding others, in order to do that first you must know them.
