Very heavy handed. At its best it shows the racism, but many passages aren’t at its best, so it’ll just shove it in your face then spell it out for you, etymology included.

It’s interesting to reflect on what’s working for me here and not. It feels to me like I needed this chiseled further so it’s more nuanced. Or maybe it’s just that the relentless experience of balance of power makes this a “too soon” read for me.
