Why it’s on the list: Smith visits eight places that hold American slavery in their soil — Monticello, Angola prison, Blandford Cemetery, Gorée Island — and reads how each one chooses to tell or not tell the story.
Where I saw it: Recommended in a BookTok video by Carrie (@carriereadsbooks) that Kyle saved to his Apple Note “Books To Read” — his own note on the list: books to prepare for a Trump presidency. Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@carriereadsbooks/video/7434519243615472927
