Who We Be: The Colorization of America by Jeff Chang

4.0

I'm continually impressed by Chang's ability to weave between different aspects of social life such as art and politics and present precise causations I could have never figured out. As a Cornell alum, the parts about the Willard Straight Hall Takeover and the Latino Studies Program founding were particularly interesting and useful to see in the context of broader race relations at the time. The presentation of the book, with beautiful and provocative photos, lends it a more art history type feel, though this book is of course much much more.
