I could list quote after quote of this book, but instead I will urge everyone to read it!

Hamad so eloquently put into words the struggles women of color have to deal with. She also provides historical evidence as to the inception of the racist caricatures created by white people and their racist behaviors towards people of color.

anniefwrites's review against another edition

challenging informative medium-paced

Hamad covers a lot of ground with this book--from history to representation in the media, from workplace conflict to current events. I was grateful to learn about this topic from someone who is both passionate and critical. As a reader, I think having subheadings would have helped me keep track of the topics being discussed, but in general, it's a book that I'll be processing and applying over time. Learned a lot, and lots more to learn.
