Southern Cross: The Beginnings of the Bible Belt

One of Wood's main arguments here is that planters...

Nejma
AuthorNayyirah Waheed
ISBN1494493322
Nayyirah Waheed is brilliant, as always. Before I recommend this book, I would like to point out that her work is intended for POC (people of color). She has been subjected to quite a bit of appropriation lately, and whitewashing her words to fit a broader context is unacceptable. She is okay with non-POCs...
