One of the leading physicists of her generation, Dr. Chanda Prescod-Weinstein is also one of fewer than one hundred Black American women to earn a PhD from a department of physics. Her vision of the cosmos is vibrant, buoyantly nontraditional, and grounded in Black and queer feminist lineages. Dr. Prescod-Weinstein urges us to recognize how science, like most fields, is rife with racism, misogyny, and other forms of oppression. She lays out a bold new approach to science and society, beginning with the belief that we all have a fundamental right to know and love the night sky.

This is an expansive text in every sense. It will stick with me for a long time. The author refuses to disentangle modern notions of "objective" science from subjective humanity. Good. That false philosophical divide is crushing is. Her unflinching assessments and style plot a course for new worlds. Bravo!
Anyone looking to engage pure/tradtional/white scientific ideas will be deservedly frustrated and disappointed (and should take that feeling as a sign that you need a different and more dynamic lens). Nothing changes if no one changes.
