This. Audiobook. THIS. AUDIOBOOK! His work here is stellar. His writing is always phenomonal and humane and funny and current and real, but as a poet by trade he performs this book like a prose poem and it is a treat. I'm planning to re-read it as a physical copy as well, because some of his asides must look really interesting on the page. I very much appreciated that this was a remix, not just a straight YA retelling, of Dr. Kendi's work, with Jason's voice all over it. Because of this, he really focused on his own idol, Angela Davis, and highlighted her journey in each chapter. I definitely need to read more of her work, so I appreciate a lens on her. This would make an excellent lit circle book, and parts of the audio would be great integrated into Social Studies lessons. A must read for all ages. Thanks to Libro.FM for giving free audiobooks to librarians/educators - if you haven't signed up for their program, do it!
