From the author of Make Your Home Among Strangers, essays on being an "accidental" American—an incisive look at the edges of identity for a woman of color in a society centered on whiteness
In this sharp and candid collection of essays, critically acclaimed writer and first-generation American Jennine Capó Crucet explores the condition of finding herself a stranger in the country where she was born. Raised in Miami and the daughter of Cuban refugees, Crucet examines the political and personal contours of American identity and the physical places where those contours find themselves smashed: be it a rodeo town in Nebraska, a university campus in upstate New York, or Disney World in Florida. Crucet illuminates how she came to see her exclusion from aspects of the theoretical American Dream, despite her family's attempts to fit in with white American culture—beginning with their ill-fated plan to name her after the winner of the Miss America pageant.
In prose that is both fearless and slyly humorous, My Time Among the Whites examines the sometimes hopeful, sometimes deeply flawed ways in which many Americans have learned to adapt, exist, and—in the face of all signals saying otherwise—perhaps even thrive in a country that never imagined them here.

I knew I needed to read this book when I learned that students at a university had burned this book after she spoke there. It speaks directly to the white privilege that people in this country take advantage of every day while refusing to acknowledge it. ( )

Thoughts from a Cuban-American author on her alienation from predominantly white spaces. Her essays on her experiences in academia were compelling (both from her POV as a first gen immigrant student and later as a Latinx professor), but I didn’t fully click on many of her other essays. Some nice insights peppered throughout but I didn’t care for the Disney or wedding hall content. ( )

A biting and engaging memoir from a talented novelist. I read Make Your Home Among Strangers (and loved it) and find Crucet's insights to be particularly necessary in our current political moment. A must-read. ( )

This was an amazing read with beautiful prose. Crucet tells stories in a way that sucks you right in, and I’d love to read more from her. ( )
