Here’s a bunch of reviews for all the nonfiction I read.
Becoming by Michelle Obama
Michelle Obama is funny, complex, intelligent, thoughtful, realistic, loyal, hopefully, and more. It’s so easy to water down a person to the image presented by the media; more often than not, she was left to be the woman standing behind the man in the white house. Up until Becoming, I knew very little about her life outside of the basics.
How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
The book is pretty much summed up in the quote, “We know how to be racist. We know how to pretend to be not racist. Now let’s know how to be antiracist.”
The Black Book
The Black Book is a heartbreaking history of Africans’ struggle to gain humanity, recognition, rights, and the hope for equality and citizenship in America from 1619 through the 1940s.
The Ice at the End of the World by Jon Gertner
Greenland is more than ice. It’s even more than a history of the world and a predictor of the future at the top of the world. It is a call to action.
The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell
The Cartiers by Francesca Cartier Brickell is more than a story of the Cartier family empire. It is the story of the world's highest societies. I highly enjoyed it.
