bookishmillennial's review against another edition
This collection of essays by Alicia Elliott did not let me catch my breath for one moment. I feel like I highlighted so much throughout the book, probably every other page, if not every page 😭
Alicia comments on and asks questions about so much: colonization, capitalism, racism, misogyny, desire, selfies, “reality” tv, truth versus opinion, familial dynamics, indigenous practices, and so much more.
I desperately want a print copy of this now, as it was such an important read. Capitalism and colonization has brought so much horror to the world, and the solutions will not be found with them. I look forward to reading more from Alicia Elliott and I am so grateful that I read this book.
Moderate: Ableism, Addiction, Chronic illness, Domestic abuse, Genocide, Mental illness, Racism, Sexism, Sexual violence, Transphobia, Xenophobia, Police brutality, Gaslighting, Colonisation, and Classism
