White Negroes: When Cornrows Were in Vogue & and Other Thoughts on Cultural Appropriation | 
pickThis book is another mandatory read. It's a quick but powerful and thought provoking book. This book dissects cultural appropriation through a lens that peers into the multiple perspectives on the topic. The author's research goes back approximately 20 years, roping in age old issues to current events, exposing how appropriation is exhibited currently.
pickFrom music to food to fashion to activism, Jackson expositions just how deeply anti-Blackness and the appropriation of Black culture are entrenched in the zeitgeist. She sticks to examining the American context, but given how widespread the consumption of anything American is, we can't exempt ourselves from this culpability on a global level. I've pretty much highlighted most of the book so I can't pull quotes. Please read it.

pickSo happy that I finally dug into this. Enjoyed the personal and historical perspectives of current events.
pickThis was an informative read on cultural appropriation by white people who ask to use black culture it's language music, anger and businesses to benefit personally. It gave excellent examples of what this looks like in today's world and uses household names that most people know of and can relate to.

Points have been counted for tonight! #NFNov I read Chapter 10 on my way to work today. It discussed food and the multiple ways in which white people appropriate from different cultures in order to become famous chefs.
Working my way through this book! I have also counted points and will count again before bed tonight at 8pm. Good work everyone!
I hope you are enjoying #NFNov
So I am reading the tagged book during work and it is a fascinating look at why and how white people benfit from cultural appropriation.
But that's not what this post is about. It's about Do Men Read? It seems to me that the reading community is about 90% women so I googled: Do Men Read? And found this 2007 article: https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=14175229
