A review by alexblackreads
When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir by asha bandele, Patrisse Khan-Cullors

4.0

I loved the first half of this book when Khan-Cullors was discussing her childhood. The way she tied her specific experiences into system oppression and her current day activism was brilliant. I genuinely found the first half masterful and so worthwhile.

The second half lost me a little. It was fine, but it wasn't anything special and I struggled to care more than I should have. Like it wasn't bad, but I was significantly less invested than the beginning.

I would definitely recommend this book, though. Well worth it for the first half alone and she discussed a lot of her activism which I found very interesting.
