"Taking It Personally" by Ann Berlak & Sekani Moyenda
Overall Feelings:
I really enjoyed the use of narrative to act as a catalyst for larger dialogue by both authors. I guess as I say this I am thinking that this would be every author’s intention, but given their active use of “autobiography” I believe that this allows the reader to relate to either Ann or Sekani on a deeper level. Even if the reader falls somewhere in between these two juxtaposing perspectives, I believe that their honesty and illumination of their adaptive unconscious in conjunction with their conscious efforts to “undo” racist pedagogy is very genuine (gave me perspective--really liked it).
