in september i read:
killers of the flower moon, by david grann (this is a nonfiction account of some nefarious activities and murders in the osage indian tribe in oklahoma in the early part of the 20th century, with some interesting history (did you know that native people who had oil rights had to have white guardians to manage their money?!) and the rise of the FBI. it's not *incredibly* well written, but it's an interesting story and if this little blurb interests you, i'd recommend you check it out!)
real american, by julie lythcott-haims (this is a memoir of a biracial woman growing up in the 1980s and then struggling with her own identity as she parents her own biracial children in the 2000s. an incredibly poignant and well-written book about race, identity, history, politics. if you are parenting a multiracial child this is a MUST READ. and honestly? it's a must read for anyone who cares about race in this country at all.)
