Wild Tongues Can't Be Tamed: 15 Voices from the Latinx Diaspora by Saraciea J. Fennell

5.0

I learned so much from this book I'm not even sure how to write about it. Mostly I learned about my own anti-blackness within my Latinidad. I was aware of colourism but this book took me much deeper. It brought my privileges as a white-presenting Latina right up to my face so I could take a good hard look. It was eye opening to read the words of my Black Latinx community members (I am not black but they are members of my community). The racism inflicted from within, the intersectionality of their hardships. I'm so glad I picked up this book. And I will strive to do better, and teach my white Latinx kids to do the same.
