I'm Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown

3.0

A Black woman’s memoir where she explores her life along the intersection of race, gender and Christianity. I enjoyed the first half of the book; the second half veered too much into religious aspects. Some good and important observations on race and the white gaze. I was particularly taken with how the term ‘racist’ offends nice white people, but Klan members, people making up lynch mobs, church bombers, all had/have family members, friends, are members of communities, can be well dressed and well liked. The racist monster isn’t all that different from most people.
