Negroland: A Memoir by Margo Jefferson
4.0
Margo Jefferson is a few years older than me. I found her accounts of her life fascinating. She grew up with many more privileges than I did, but faced racism (which I, as a European-American, did not). The issues she faced as a female growing up in a social circle with many expectations of girls' behavior that I did not.
It was an interesting snapshot of how specifics of race, class and gender impact us as individuals.
