It is so rare that you see a book about white people discussing their race. I am so glad Dig exists and opens the door to reckon with the way white supremacy has a real impact on white people- it takes away responsibility and humanity. This book gives grace while holding white people responsibility for racism. It sometimes told rather than showed (especially in the beginning) but the ending was fantastic.
