Non-Fiction

I'm not much on non-fiction. I tend to go through "spells" where I'll read a bunch of it, then burn out.
The last NF I read was White Tears, Brown Scars by Ruby Hamad, about the ways white women exercise DARVO whenever they're accused of racism. You know, crying to get sympathy whenever a brown woman tells them don't touch my hair, or speaks up when they're being racist. The tears are used to turn themselves into the victim, to get fellow whites to take their side and ostracize if not torment the brown person.
An infuriating read, but one that needed to be written.
