Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America
by Michael Eric Dyson
If I read anymore from Dyson, I'll definitely be picking up the physical books. I enjoyed listening to him, but at times I definitely struggled following along because of the medium.
I'm also choosing not to rate this book because it didn't feel right. Like this isn't something I felt I could accurately rate. I'm the recipient, not a participant like I feel with most books I read.
This is incredibly worthwhile. It's very much a shut up and listen moment, which I think has a power in itself. He's engaging with you directly in a way that doesn't offer any sort of response and he speaks in a way that if it were a dialogue, it would almost be like he's cutting you off. This is a chance to listen, not be heard.
I don't think I learned anything particularly new from this. If you pay attention to racism in America, the broad strokes of this book should already be familiar. But I think the format and the details make it an important read.
