Lose Your Mother: A Journey Along the Atlantic Slave Route by Saidiya Hartman

challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

I am not sure this is a great book to do as an audiobook, because a lot of the time, it felt like a lot of words to say "Yes, it's complicated but...Ghana is mid." And sure, it's actually important for Black Americans to be able to say that, to be able to talk about how Africans can be shitty and weird to Black folks whose ancestors were taken and enslaved, but it kind of moved around in ways that ended up being hard to follow while listening to it.
