Black Writers Matter by Whitney French
5.0
Brilliant, brilliant book! Whitney French has gathered a range of stories that speak to multiple experiences of claiming space and resisting oppression. The diverse voices she includes (professor, taxi driver, authors, artists etc.) share their experiences without sugar-coating them. French respects each and every one of her contributors and lets the authors voices speak their truths of racism, discrimination, and resistance.
French writes: 'I turn my attention to multiple truths that surface from these tellings and try to expand the very container that we argue, disrupt, challenge, and recreate. This practice generates boundless room to parse out our own personal myths and our centralized truths.'
Read this, open your head and heart to other's experiences, and become an ally where/when you can.
