"'In the future, White supremacy will no longer need White people,' the artist Lorraine O’Grady said in 2018, a prognosis that seemed, at least on the surface, to counter what James Baldwin said fifty years ago, which is that 'the White man’s sun has set.' Which is it then? What prediction will hold? As an Asian American, I felt emboldened by Baldwin but haunted and implicated by O’Grady. I heard the ring of truth in her comment, which gave me added urgency to finish this book."

This creative nonfiction book is a collection of essays by poet and author Cathy Park Hong. I think this book would be appreciated by people with a love/knowledge of art, as art and artists play an important role in many of the essays. As someone who is not Asian American, I look forward to seeking out own voices reviews to see what stood out to others in this collection. I do recommend the audiobook, as it is narrated by the author.
