Read Until You Understand: The Profound Wisdom of Black Life and Literature by Farah Jasmine Griffin
This book was both academic and personal. I leaarned so much from it and expect these new perspectives with aid with my future reading and life experiences. Griffin repeated anecdotes and incidents many times, and each time she added information, usually from a different perspective, that was very valuable. She also provided perspectives on much that I read that aided in my understanding.
