battlepoet reviewed Check Your Privilege by Myisha Hill
Review of 'Check Your Privilege' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Hmm. I've been reading lots of hard-hitting novels by Angela Davis, Desmond Cole, and Assata Shakur. This book felt like skimming the surface of poking at one's privilege. For sure the essays are good in helping white folks feel less alone in this journey, but... I thought it would be deeper and more detailed.
For the record, the book does not follow Campbell's hero's journey, in case anyone else was misled by the book description.
