From one of the fiercest critics writing today, Morgan Jerkins highly-anticipated collection of linked essays interweaves her incisive commentary on pop culture, feminism, black history, misogyny, and racism with her own experiences to confront the very real challenges of being a black woman today perfect for fans of Roxane Gays Bad Feminist, Rebecca Solnits Men Explain Things to Me, and Chimamanda Ngozie Adichies We Should All Be Feminists. Morgan Jerkins is only in her twenties, but she has already established herself as an insightful, brutally honest writer who isn't afraid of tackling tough, controversial subjects. In This Will Be My Undoing, she takes on perhaps one of the most provocative contemporary topics: What does it mean to be to live as, to exist as a black woman today? This is a book about black women, but its necessary reading for all Americans. Doubly disenfranchised by race and gender, often deprived of a place within the mostly white mainstream feminist movement, black women are objectified, silenced, and marginalized with devastating consequences, in ways both obvious and subtle that are rarely acknowledged in our country's larger discussion about inequality. In This Will Be My Undoing, Jerkins becomes both narrator and subject to expose the social, cultural, and historical story of black female oppression that influences the black community as well as the white, male-dominated world at large. Whether she's writing about Sailor Moon; Rachel Dolezal; the stigma of therapy; her complex relationship with her own physical body; the pain of dating when men say they don't see color; being a black visitor in Russia; the specter of the fast-tailed girl and the paradox of black female sexuality; or disabled black women in the context of the Black Girl Magic movement, Jerkins is compelling and revelatory.… (més)

Much to think about. Much I had no idea (as the author so clearly knows). ( )

The Story:

There is a lot for me to unpack. It’s been a few days since I read this and I’m still not sure I’ve processed it all. Honestly I’m not sure I ever will. Being a black female in this country is difficult.

The Random Thoughts: ( )

She does not try to submit to white standards of respectability and that is why I love this book. I note other reviews that are critical, oft from white women who except respectability politics.
But she is honest. Honesty is not respectable. Honesty is I believed this and I grew. I believe this now and I am growing. These are my fears and these are how they've changed. Honesty is not respectable. ( )
  elisalr22 | Jul 11, 2021 |
A collection of wide-ranging essays about the author's experience with race, gender, and striving to succeed in a world designed to hold her back and hold her down. She fearlessly relates intimate moments, doubts, fears, and the cultural pressures that have shaped her. This was a deeply affecting look into a world that I have limited experience with and I truly appreciate the author's willingness to open herself so fully to those who may or may not understand her. She is an inspiring figure and a truly evocative writer. ( )

For the most part this was really well done. I especially loved the chapter for Michelle Obama. Other chapters though, the overall impact seemed really young. Not quite juvenile but not really mature either. I can't wait to see how she does as she continues her journey. ( )
