So Good

Revisado: 04-28-19

This was so good that I'm going to have to buy a copy of the book, just to see what parts were written, and what parts were an ad lib by Kevin Hart. His story was funny and compelling, and very worth the listen.

OMG... this was such a good read!!

I was engaged the entire time. And the "petting zoo" story... I was at work trying not to lose it! The Obama story is so inspiring, and I was able to see so much of my story in her words. I guess that's the bigger point, isn't it?

So much to this book!

Revisado: 04-18-17

First of all, I really enjoyed listening to the author tell this story. He has such professional and personal ownership of the story and it resonates throughout. Which is good, because I know I'm going to have to re-listen to it, and possibly go buy a copy. There is so much to this story, and I thought I kind of understood the nuances of it before reading this. Not close. Every one needs to read this. we might understand each other so much better if we did.

I'm sure I'll have to listen to it again, because there's a lot in. there and you may miss something. But it was definitely worth it to buy and listen to.

I'm so glad this was an audio book!

This course had a lot of information, but it was interesting and insightful. Also easier to grasp in small chunks. Very helpful.

Would you listen to Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness again? Why?

Yes, I'm sure I will. It was alot of information, and I'm sure I didn't catch everything the way I wanted to. It's a good read, so listening again will be easy.

What other book might you compare Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness to and why?

I can't because this is the first book I've read that actually discusses post-blackness in this way.

What does Touré bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

How he tells a story really makes it worth the listen.

If you could give Who's Afraid of Post-Blackness a new subtitle, what would it be?

"Everything you wanted to know about being black in America, but were afraid to ask" or "Wait, racism isn't over yet?"

Any additional comments?

This is the first book I've read that is willing to break down both sides of the racism experience, particularly from both outside and inside the race, in a way that I could only scream, "Yes, Yes, that is so true!" as I listened to it.

Wow

I was floored by this writing. This book answered so many questions for me. More importantly, as an African American woman of possible mixed heritage, who has spent much of her life questioning whether she was black enough, I now see how most of my experience is rooted in the challenges that being African American entail.

Loved it...just one little thing

Revisado: 05-26-15

I loved the story Judge Lynn shares in her book. After hearing so many audiobooks, I wish the production could have been less rushed. Sometimes you needed to take a breath after her wisdom before jumping right into the next thing. Again not a critique on Judge Lynn at all. I'm going to listen again and write the rules out (or just buy a copy of the book).
