Description
"A ruthless and razor-sharp essay collection that tackles the pervasive, creeping oppression and toxicity that has wormed its way into society, in our books, schools, and homes, as well as the systems that perpetuate them, from the acclaimed author of Mean, and one of our fiercest, foremost explorers of intersectional Latinx identity" --,Publisher's website.
Description
Gurba's essay collection tackles the pervasive, creeping oppression and toxicity that has wormed its way into society. As a fierce explorer of intersectional Latinx identity, she maps oppression not as an act, but as an environment: it is in our books, schools, and homes, creating a complex ecosystem where the culprits, accomplices, and victims assume different forms depending on who gets to speak, and who is listening. Gurba shows how the systems, tacit rules and institutions allow this "creep culture" to grow and thrive. -- adapted from jacket.
