I haven't given a rating because I didn't read the whole thing, just skimmed.
The author is clear that this is a book about Americans for Americans, and I would agree - it is very specific in its scope and context and is not as generalisable as I anticipated. It is not about about racialised trauma generally or intergenerational trauma generally. From a therapist's perspective I think it seems to integrate well the current therapeutic modes of trauma recovery and trauma therapy with sociological and justice narratives around oppression, racialised violence, inequality and intergeneration trauma for Black American bodies.
