The most necessary book right now. A guide to revolution and the reasons for the wildfire in people’s hearts - if you want to learn how to change and reflect on your experiences, especially in academia and colonialism and how it affects both the majority and minority, this is a must-read. Haunting, painful, and worthy of tears.
