Brown: The Last Discovery of America by Richard Rodríguez

4.0

Incredibly written and utterly spellbinding. I found myself nodding along and understanding many of the things he said, the experienced he shared while being brown in America. I will say that near the end he begins to meander and lose the way a bit, talking about the old West and religion, but that being said, I read this as research for my senior thesis and the last 80 pages or so just weren't what I was looking for. That doesn't mean they were bad, however. It is a memoir and I liked the way we're lead through his life while also being pointed out what was going on in the world then, and what's going on now. Loved it.
