Beautiful and whimsical. More of a personal memoir than containing actual practical artist tips. But inspirational nonetheless.
Unfortunately I didn’t end up finishing this book. It was a disappointing read. Let me start by saying that as a white woman I have been on a quest to learn more about our colonial past and understand people of color better. I would also like to better be able to recognize institutionalized racism and combat it where possible.
This book was so hard to get through that I never really reached that goal. The writing style fluttered between incoherent and scientific language, making it incredibly difficult to follow along. If it was Wekker’s goal to reach the unknowing white man and educate him, I’m afraid she has failed miserably. The only people able to read through this book are most likely already very very well educated and there for have probably grabbed the book as a form of confirmation bias. I was hard to summarize any points to remember in between the text. Disappointing.
“Hallo witte mensen” is een beter alternatief. Dit boek is eenvoudig, en voor iedereen toegankelijk geschreven. Ik had het graag wat dikker en meer gedetailleerd gezien, maar het is in ieder geval een boek wat leesbaar is.
