Color Me English: Migration and Belonging Before and After 9/11 by Caryl Phillips

emmybrown's review against another edition

5.0

Incredible representation of immigration, diaspora, and reflection of American patriotism post 9/11. Definitely not a quick or easy read, but deep and heartbreaking in moments.

I enjoyed most of these essays, which ranged widely in the locales described. I have read several of his earlier novels, and without committing sacrilege, I think I almost prefer his non-fiction.
