Welcome to Litsy!

It's #BlitsyHistoryMonthSwap day! I had so much fun opening my goodies, and I'm pumped to dig into these anthologies. @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego you're the best. I loooove everything. This is my first ever book sleeve, and I don't know how I've existed without one. Big hugs also to @Chelleo for making this year's swap international. #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonthSwap #BHMS #BHMSwap

Such a fascinating collection of stories, theory, memoir, everything. It brought so much together from famous writers and artists to marketing executives, some tragic some laugh out loud funny, some stuff I‘d never even thought of as a topic to be written about before. It made me intensely uncomfortable at times but I crave that feeling from books about racism, it feels like knowing the medicine I‘m taking to open up my mind is working.

1. Tagged book, Disappearing Earth and Afropean

2. Probably one of the above, not sure which!

3. Keeping reading through a year with a lot of changes in it for me, moving flat was a lot and it caused a bit of a slump but I‘ve picked back up. I read less than last year but did manage my goodreads goal, admittedly after I revised it down

I can easily recommend this. It is a plethora of different opinions about what it is to fight white supremacy told in different forms: essays, lyrics, poems, song short stories. The book is separatedinto different themes with Solomon and Rankins thoughts at the end of each section. It‘s well done. Well curated. It makes you reflect on your actions in this time and space.
Thanks Netgalley for this book in exchange for an honest review.

Reading this book now and it‘s interesting, in that it‘s not a collection of one thing. There are interviews, poetry, short stories and essays all about how we fight supremacy and how it prevails in society. I‘m enjoying it so far. I‘m liking that‘s it not a singular entity because we all fight and exist in different ways. #arc
