Book of the Other: Small in Comparison (Paperback)

Staff Reviews

"Truong Tran’s BOOK OF THE OTHER is a searing and powerful look into the way institutional racism pervades communities, classrooms, and everyday life. This book peels back later after later until we discover our selves at its center—often beautiful, often ugly, often both. This book takes to task, among many things, wokeness-as-social-currency, violent legacies of silence, and it reminds us that every one of us creates the world, both with our actions, as well as our inactions, for better or for worse. It reminds us that every single moment is a new one and with it comes a choice to change and grow and become better humans to one another. It’s painful and intense and heartbreakingly urgent. It’s fierce and beautiful and funny and sincere. It’s filled with defeat and it’s filled with hope. It’s difficult as the world. Do yourself a favor and please read this book."- Maxwell
