Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America by Ijeoma Oluo

informative reflective fast-paced

4.5

I absolutely loved this book, it was difficult at times because the author does cover some pretty heavy topics, but it was so informative and really shined a light on many ways that racism is ingrained in every aspect of American history, and is continuously upheld today. The author also shares her own personal experiences with racism and xenophobia interspersed within the many facts and historical narratives that she tells throughout the book, keeping the book engaging, and allowing the reader to feel more connected to the topics and issues being discussed. She is an incredible writer and I am so grateful that she has chosen to do the difficult work of educating us on these issues when they are things that she struggles with every day
