Black AF History: The Un-Whitewashed Story of America by Michael Harriot
informative
reflective
medium-paced
5.0
incredibly well-researched, humorous but not blasé, rooted in memoir-like vignettes of Harriot’s family, and sprinkled with prose. The writing is high quality, varied, and engaging. I love the way Harriot sometimes waits to reveals the identity of the person whose story he is telling, almost like a mystery book. An excellent review of Black (American) history, and love the required and recommended reading lists at the end too.
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, Racial slurs, Racism, Slavery, Torture, Police brutality, Murder, and Colonisation
Moderate: Genocide, Rape, and Sexual assault
