Book Blitz: Otherness: Souls of Brown Women by DE.B.Dubois
OTHERNESS: SOULS OF BROWN WOMEN
by
De.B. Dubois
Blurb
Who is the brown woman? How does she live defined almost solely by her skin colour and all the history it carries? How do we carry racism deep within us even when we think we don't? These are questions that require deep thought and reflection, and that's what Otherness encourages us to do. In a world increasingly divided along the lines of colour, despite its apparent modernity, here's a hard look at the realities that lurk within us, both as individuals and as a society.
