so-soThis is as dry and long winded as you'd expect it to be (why would a politician use 5 words when they can use 50?), however Lammy is ultimately advocating for diversity and inclusion and I can get behind that (if he can get over his fat phobia - there's some odd weight comments floating around this book).
pickSoft pick. I chose this particular book because I wanted to hear Boudica's story from the mouth of a woman who could be critical of sexist sources who used Boudica's story to further their own agendas. In a way, she reveals those agendas and some of their biases. But, for the most part, she simply retells their stories without too much criticism (where it was due). 1/3
so-soA few good quotes, a couple things that made me think. A little dated, a little too meaningless business speak. But I did get a couple of gems that I will use in my new job role so that made it worth my while. #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
bailedThis lacked the depth I was looking for when building a tribe. It‘s a little dated, but I expected that. Even for the time it was written, I expected more.
pickCovering all 3 seasons of Tribe, this book covers Bruce Parry‘s time living with 15 tribes.
Although I loved all of them, my favourites were in the colder climates such as Siberia. You see a lot about African and Amazonian tribes but little about those in the colder (potentially harsher?) climes.
If you liked the series this is a great read ❤️

pickThis should be required reading for anyone in the Pacific Northwest. The author is Native American, so the book is very sympathetic to their struggles.
White people have a long history of whining until they get what they want.
