I agree. I recommend you for reading the book too. It's a great piece of literature for us that want to learn more about racism and oppression, also about woman struggle.

Your sincerity and appreciation in connecting with Janice's experiences as a minority and the related challenges arising from this are noted.
I appreciate this book and the author's journey.
I also come from a minority group and appreciate the battles that had to be overcome in the past. Still, at the same time, I choose not to dwell on the limitations of a minority label in current times, though it's a tricky juggling act sometimes.
I have observed in the present how the past can be used and distorted as a reverse form of dictatorship and further injustices in the present, and it can be equally destructive, so I tend to be wary about dwelling too long on such matters of history.
Congratulations to the author for expressing her story and overcoming the hurdles of her time. I trust she will inspire generations to come through her story.
