My Time Among the Whites: Notes from an Unfinished Education

My Time Among the Whites is a thought-provoking collection of essays that delve into the complexities of identity, belonging, and cultural adaptation in America.

With piercing insight and unflinching honesty, Jennine Capo Crucet explores the experiences of a first-generation American raised in Miami and the daughter of Cuban refugees, examining how she navigated the often-fraught landscape of race and identity in a society centered on whiteness.

Through her incisive writing, Crucet illuminates the ways in which she found herself a stranger in the country where she was born, and the various means by which she learned to adapt, exist, and even thrive in a nation that never imagined her presence.

This powerful and timely book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of American identity and the ongoing struggle for inclusivity and belonging.
