BORDERLANDS 2: IT'S A FAMILY AFFAIR
$2

"Borderlands 2 is a brand new collection of personal stories by transracially adopted and mixed race writers. This time the subject is family life, where we first develop our understanding of race and how it effects the way we experience the world. Juli makes connections between her adoption and mental health struggles. Charlotte muses on the snippets of family history she has inherited about immigration and a queer ancestor. Claudia contemplates viewing her Asianness through the lens of whiteness and vice-versa. Jackie expoundes on how the meaning of home varies between multi-racial and and monoracial families. Stevie lights a fire under the conversations we need to be having about the implications and realities of interracial coupling. Nadia reflects on internalized racism against Arab men. Jillian undergoes a test of racial allegiances and Patti gives historical context for the marginalization of Korean women who married American soliders during the war." -StrangerDangerDistro.com
