摘 要:
As a woman who is of mixed race, has experienced elite schools and generational poverty, and has been thin and fat at different times in her life, Savala Nolan has long felt that she occupies in-between spaces in society. The lawyer, speaker, and writer explores this liminal territory in her debut collection, Don't Let It Get You Down: Essays on Race, Gender, and the Body (Simon & Schuster, July), touching on topics such as dating, motherhood, and police brutality. American Libraries spoke with Nolan, executive director of the Thelton E. Henderson School of Social Justice at Berkeley (Calif.) Law, about identity, representation, and how libraries can help each of us find our story.
