This book gave me so much to think about. It doesn’t give any easy answers about what’s ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in literature, but asks us to question our own preconceptions and desires. I definitely need my own copy, because I wanted to underline so many passages for future reference, but I was reading a copy from the library.

I do believe that every writer, creator, and reader who has ever worried about cultural appropriation (or/and especially those who have not worried about this), should read this book.

In an enganging, non-judgmental way, Rekdal invites audiences to ruminate on topics that may make many uncomfortable. An important read for any creator and any person engaging with media.
