#Library worker looking for #BIPOC readers of Kingsolver's recent Demon Copperhead. I'm mayonnaisian but working on it
Glowing reviews I read aren't wrong abt excellent story & adaptation but...
Isn't author disingenuous in her misrepresentation of who HRC calls deplorables? Isn't her historical critique missing a whole chunk abt #race & #Reconstruction?
Seems to me like we need an #intersectional history of #reconstruction that highlights the ways Southern plantation #Oligarchs & Northern #Corporate interests f'd the #Constitution to soften the 'blow' of full #Black #personhood
