BOOK REVIEW: Personification of Injustice, by Connie Jordan

BOOK REVIEW:  Personification of Injustice, by Connie Jordan

If I can shed some light on an on-going way of life and allow people to see things from another perpective...


This is a collection of poetry of the observations of the writer on racism and recent events between police and black people. I found this difficult to like at first. It is definitely a book that requires perseverance. Irrational vs rational thought is a great poem which urges people for the need for unity. Poems such as New Beginning could well be talking about the world as a whole but Looking Back at 2014 and Lies That Were Told are poems that clearly show the journey of black people and what they have had to endure. This has made me feel uncomfortable, I hadn’t fully realized the extent of the damage that can be caused by oppression and this collection has opened my eyes.
