"I got an education in empowerment - In eighth grade I found my mother's copy of Erica Jong's Fear of Flying, which she'd hidden from me. I had no idea what all the sex stuff meant! Still, I knew it was about more than sexuality, that it was about female liberation."

Book Rating
As a white, middle class American, most of my education about colonialism and the resulting systemic and institutionalized racism and poverty have come from my own efforts to broaden my understanding. The more I learn, the more I am appalled not only by the realities themselves but also by the huge missing gap in my American education.

Trevor Noah's Born a Crime provides incredible insight into apartheid in South Africa as well as it's lasting effect, even after it "ended." I was already a bit of a fan of Noah's humor and political commentary, and his memoir is not a disappointment. He tackles big issues with a sense of humor that does not in any way minimize those issues.
