A review by spaghettireads
Brown White Black: An American Family at the Intersection of Race, Gender, Sexuality, and Religion by Nishta J. Mehra

informative reflective medium-paced

5.0

A collection of memoir-style essays where Mehra describes her experience growing up as an Indian woman in Memphis, marrying a white woman, and having a Black gender-nonconforming kid. 

She discusses how the many intersections of her identity influence how she perceives herself and how other people perceive her. She describes how this has changed throughout her life, especially after adopting her kid. 

I thought these essays were very well written, and I really enjoyed reading them. Even though I don’t have kids, I think that ideas around raising children and parenting to be very interesting. I think you will enjoy this book if you are at all interested in how different identities interact with each other, and/or how this fits in with raising a child.
