I also appreciated that Safiya Sinclair included information about Rastafari and Jamaican history, so we would have proper context as we read.
Safiya is clearly an incredible writer, and she does a wonderful job weaving together the complex emotions that come from experiencing abuse. On top of that, the complexity is deepened even further by the generational trauma of colonization and poverty. I found it to be a very well-rounded memoir with a great balance of personal experience and historical research.
