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!

Moderate: Racism, Sexual assault, and Vomit

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.
Graphic: Racism, Racial slurs, and Vomit
Moderate: Death, Cancer, and Mental illness
