Alright THIS BOOK. I freaking love it, I love Nelson and her work (I know she divorced recently but am not up to date with her current name and have read her as Nelson therefore I will say Nelson).

Read it for my thesis and am using her theory on counter stories on the topic of migration. Literally so useful and insightful. Super applicable, especially combined with literary fiction which I am mainly using and focusing on in my thesis.

Highly recommend if you're interested in narratives and oppression, and especially when wanting to learn more about narratives and oppression and how they not only affect each other, but also to see how the individual is affected and harmed.
