My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education by Jennine Capó Crucet

3.0

The first essay was the best. There’s a lot of conflation between the use of race and ethnicity that weakens the author’s arguments here. I’m begging white/mestize Latine academics and authors to contend with this because it’s confusing and harmful.
