This examination of America's racial history prompts critical reflection on deep-rooted societal issues. 
A powerful exploration of identity, survival, and equality, Sorrowland's ability to disturb, inspire, and provoke thought makes it a must-read. I'll continue to recommend this book for its raw honesty and vital contribution to discussions on race and power in America.
