It's hard for me to rate this book so I will just say read it. The more I sit and reflect with it, the more complicated I feel. I loved the focus on Black community - across the world, diaspora, ancestry. I was frustrated by the daughter, while understanding she is a product of her experience and life with whiteness. And I still felt like it centered whiteness. But I think that is the point. That even without white people we are still living within white ideals. And what is white? What is "normal"? I haven't stopped thinking about it.
