This week I've read Percival Everett's JAMES, a riff on Twain's Huck Finn from Jim's point of view; Ta-Nehisi Coates' The Message, a collection of essays connecting his journeys to the slave trade memorial on Gorée Island in Senegal and to Palestine; and Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee...

And damn if I don't have a head full of colonialism, slavery, imperialism, and disgust.
