is finished
I finally finished this today and now look forward to teaching it.... it's definitely fodder for a LOT of discussion, which I hope to do fairly and openly, despite the fact that the book for me wasn't a home run. It generalized both blacks and whites too generally, making it seem as though Coates believes that "all blacks" are burdened by their past and "all whites" are the bad guys who propagate this burden....

This is gonna be tough to teach for a myriad of reasons, predominantly that I don’t feel qualified to talk about these issues as a white woman, but I’ll come up with something.
