************************
First read:
A wonderful, heartbreaking book. Jacob depicts her experiences with racism in the U.S. via conversations she's had with family, friends, partners, strangers, and her mixed-race son.
I absolutely loved the mixed media format of this book. Even more than that, I loved the frank, clear nature of the conversations she depicts. They cut right to the chase and explain certain aspects of racism in an accessible, undeniable way.
I recommend this book to everyone.
