A review by dkrane
Fires in the Mirror by Anna Deavere Smith

5.0

It's a pretty essential document that illustrates just how anti-semitism fluorishes as a distracting form of white supremacy to pit Jews and Black people against one another as well as the messiness of talking about race and racism in the US. It admirably doesn't reach (or reach for) any neat conclusions. Reading this on Yom Kippur near Crown Heights, this still feels relevant.
