Send Her Back is a series of stories of Zimbabwean woman and their experiences as immigrants in America, as well as the differences between US and Zimbabwean culture. I really enjoyed some of the stories, especially the ones that detailed the difficulties they faced, as they are being stopped by police, as they struggle to get immigrant status, as they are noticed due to their deep color. It was painful to read some of these stories and recognize the awful way immigrants are treated, or how bad the immigration system is. I also remembered the disgust I felt when the former POTUS called countries in Africa, S*hole countries. His absolute bigotry was highlighted and written about very well in this book.
I also enjoyed when the author highlighted all the things she loved about her home country, the foods, the endless sunshine, even the mosquitos were a source of her absorbing the entire experience.
I believe that by reading other people's experiences and essays are a good way to help in understanding the plights of others.
I also had the opportunity to listen to this book on audio, and I enjoyed the narration of the book. The narrator's voice was clear, distinct, and lyrical. Thanks to NetGalley for the audio!
