American Like Me: Reflections on Life Between Cultures by America Ferrera
4.0
This was the March selection for my online book club; it garnered an interesting response! It contains some real gems, but we also struggled to understand who the intended audience was. I enjoyed most of the narratives and loved the curated voices Ferrera gathered.
One huge deficit though is the lack of voices from early Black communities in the U.S. (meaning, not recent African immigrants, but those descended from American slavery). It seemed like an odd community to leave out and the volume felt incomplete without those folks’ voice in the mix.
