Brown Album: Essays on Exile and Identity
by Porochista Khakpour
Do not recommend (1/20/2021)
Horrible. This author is tone def on every single level. Not only is she tone def in her writing but in her thought process as well. While she picks apart all that is wrong with colonization and western views. She refuses to put her own actions under a microscope. Porochista is a part of the problem. She herself a proud gentrifier. Talking about 3rd world countries without respecting their culture. And just like the person who wrote it. This book is trash. Nothing she writes will make her any more “woke” she likes to hide behind other minority groups plight in order to make herself look compassionate and worldly. No her views are just as deadly and detrimental as the colonizers she writes about.
