Surviving the White Gaze: A Memoir by Rebecca Carroll

3.0

I would add a subtitle: surviving an incredibly dysfunctional upbringing. if you want to understand why some people need to cutoff their parents to survive and thrive - this is a prime example. her parents are incredibly self-absorbed (adoptive and birth mother) and this book could be used in counseling courses.

A lot to think about — particularly about Black children raised in white communities in the US with white parents.
