Token Black Girl by Danielle Prescod

2.0

DNF…this book was so hard for me to plow through (mind you… it took me 8 months to read half of it). maybe because it lacks introspection? the author is so young… and since a lot of the content comes across as reaffirming the lie that white people are superior, i’m inclined to think danielle isn’t fully healed or hasn’t fully processed the trauma of tokenism. as someone who has been through a lot of the experiences danielle describes, i understand her intentions are good even if passages are sloppily articulated sometimes. plus, the pop culture snippets are usually very disconnected from her personal experiences, making this book feel under-researched.
