I read this for A.P. English in high school and hated it. One, because I was a pretty typical privileged white kid living in the suburbs. I'm still privileged and white, but I definitely understood this book much, much more when I re-read it halfway through college. Brilliantly written. Not a happy read obviously, but an important one.

More than anything else, the stories about the contributors' mothers reminds me of my own mother's story. The class background resonates strongly with my own family's history, and so it frustrates me to think how much normalised racism divided my mother from these women who should have been her comrades, who faced similar obstacles.
