This book is more like an introduction for writers wanting to educate themselves on how to write about characters unlike themselves, but, of course, it’s not complete (it’s very short) and is lacking in some areas. This “practical approach” should be looked at as a beginning, before delving deeper and seeking further information.

I thought it had a good beginning on white privilege, etc. for people wanting to open their eyes, but a lot of it I just didn’t connect with. Mostly, I think that’s because I’ve read a lot of books on these subjects and also because of the writing style. It was hard for me to form a connection with the authors’ voices/styles. I also didn’t care for some of their examples.
