Brother, I'm Dying by Edwidge Danticat
4.0
A wonderful account of Edwidge's life in Haiti and US with her uncle and her father and the brothers' and the love that binds the whole family. I appreciate how she told the Haitian culture especially the stories her Granme had always told them. I also love the quotes from her Uncle Joseph and how poetic they are.
But until the end all I'm thinking is that medic from Krome! That disgusting piece of a person! Even that immigration officer! In this current time in US history, about that wall and the shutdown, this part of the story is very relevant. I just wished we knew the name of that medic who diagnosed her uncle as faking it! And all those racist creatures who even with the legal documents and being valid to be released did not have any hint of compassion or empathy in their voices, I leave them all to God. And to this treatment of immigrants in the US a large portion of the world, I hope God gives his judgment soon enough.
