Welcome to Litsy!

Derricotte's language is so incisive and precise and still richly poetic, that I have to keep stopping myself from post-quoting a whole page or doing too much decontextualized quoting (since the latter strikes me as very autopsistic in an othering way). Anyway, read this book, everyone.

I picked up this book in high school and it changed my world view. The book presents a peeled back look at the ways in which race seeps into the very bed rock of our lives.
