Status Updates From Fantasmi di Famiglia

So far, so good. I realized soon into this one that I might as well look into the history of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I and the Rastafari movement. I want to get to at least 25 percent by tonight, but I feel sore smh and I'm tired. Jah bless!

Literally 10 pages in & it's MESSY, baby 🥴

Why does a book that is supposed to be about Jamaican generational trauma centre the POV of white and light skinned people so heavily?

The book demonstrates how Jamaican women are borderline abusive with their daughters, but treat their sons like royalty. Similarly, like we see with Vincent and Abel/Stanford, men take little accountability and are able to engage in escapism, while women are left with the brunt of responsibilities and have to stay where they’re treated poorly.
