UnCommon Bonds is a collection of essays written by women representing multiple identities; all uniquely addressing the impactful experiences of race, ethnicity, and friendship in the context of the United States.

Recenzje

"Into a cultural landscape sorely lacking in representations of cross-racial friendships between women, «UnCom-mon Bonds» arrives as both revelation and gift-an uncommonly candid, nuanced guide to nurturing those bonds in the name of personal growth and social justice." Emily Lordi, Associate Professor, University of Massachusetts Amherst, and author of «Black Resonance: Iconic Women Singers and African American Literature» and «Donny Hathaway Live»
