Fantastic book! Just, life happened is all and I had to return it to the library. I will return at some point in the future!

A little boring for my own taste. I’ve heard others love this but I think I need something a bit more impactful for right now. Maybe I’ll return to this in the future!

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.
