I never felt attached to the characters or the story, but the setting/atmosphere/Jim Dale narration was exquisite.

Excellent, interconnected, original stories.

Woah. This was such a thought-provoking read. Some of his ideas are familiar, especially if you’ve read Stamped from the Beginning, but others felt brand new, or even controversial to current understandings of racism and antiracism. Some of these newer ideas were paradigm shifting, some I’m not even sure how I feel about, but they all made think deeply and open my mind. I also loved how this was part handbook, part memoir, which made the content even more readable. The audio was narrated by the author and his passion for the subject really came through. Enlightening, engaging, and unputdownable. High recommended.

I loved this book. It’s a fascinating, vibrant, multi-faceted read. But also I need someone to explain to me what happened with the end and how that was a conclusion or if it was even meant to be a conclusion? I feel like I missed a layer of meaning or connection in that last chapter, or maybe the point is that there was none? Help. Regardless, I very much look forward to what the author will put out next. This would make a great book club/buddy read.
