Jessica Hernandez Ph.D. (1)Rezensionen

There are some interesting ideas in this book such as the welcome guest and uninvited guest to help think through the issues of colonialism and the complexity of prejudice and racism. But I wish a more rigorous editor had been assigned to this book to help clean up some of the writing.

nonfiction/indigenous history and ongoing damage of current social policy- author's parents are from indigenous communities in El Salvador and Zapotec (Oaxaca area).
I muddled through about 80 pages of this but unfortunately wasn't getting much out of it. There is a lot more history than I was expecting (which, fair, I could stand to learn a lot more about the ongoing and historical destruction of indigenous people and culture by the practices of colonization, including Western systems of thought) so I thought I would try to at least learn more about that, but my brain wasn't retaining much and I wasn't finding a lot of practical, realistic ways to start improving things (not that I could do personally, at least). So this wasn't terribly helpful for me (like most PhD dissertations-turned-books).
