Title: You Sound Like a White Girl Author: Julissa Arce Narrator: Julissa Arce Format: mp3 Length: 5 hrs and 48 mins Release date: 03-22-22 Ratings: 5 out of 5 stars, 420 ratings Genres: Latin America Publisher's Summary: In this dual polemic and manifesto, Julissa dives into and tears apart the lie that assimilation leads to belonging. She combs through history and her own story to break down this myth, arguing that assimilation is a moving finish line designed to keep Black and brown Americans and immigrants chasing racist American ideals. She talks about the Lie of Success, the Lie of Legality, the Lie of Whiteness, and the Lie of English - each promising that if you obtain these things, you will reach acceptance and won’t be an outsider anymore.
