Savala Nolan

4.9/5 (9882 ratings)

Description:An incisive yet powerful collection of essays that offer poignant reflections on living as a woman between society’s most charged, politicized, and intractably polar spaces—between black and white, rich and poor, thin and fat—in America.Savala Trepczynski has experienced what many American women go through. She grew up in between two cultures as the daughter of an Afro-Latinx father and a white mother—her light complexion contrasting her kinky hair and broad nose. She started her first diet at age three and has yo-yoed between nearly skeletal and truly overweight multiple times. She has lived in poverty and had an elite education, with regular access to wealth and privilege. Savala has always lived between races, between classes, and between body types. She truly understands what it feels like not to be accepted by either group. In Nearly, Not Quite, Savala offers a strikingly straightforward and refreshing point of view on defining the tension points in our culture. She presents an accessible, human, and often humorous memoir in essays that sheds light on the center from the edge while giving a voice and a counter-narrative to those on the outside. Perfect for fans of Heavy by Kiese Laymon and Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, this book delivers a fresh perspective on society, politics, race, class, bodies, and gender, that is both an entertaining and engaging addition to the ongoing social and cultural conversation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
