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

informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

I want to read her fiction novels. It took me a long time to realize that in her title she was talking about "whites" in the broadest sense. I learned a lot about Florida and the demographics in Miami-Dade. The end was oddly ominous.

She’s a great writer, but I wished the essays had gone deeper into the topics presented. Many felt surface level and I was left wanting more. 

I also went in expecting this to be more educational about anti-racism, but it wound up being more of essays reflecting on life. Not a criticism at all—just not what I expected to read!
