Tell Me Who You Are: Sharing Our Stories of Race, Culture, & Identity
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
In this deeply inspiring book, Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi recount their experiences talking to people from all walks of life about race and identity on a cross-country tour of America. Spurred by the realization that they had nearly completed high school without hearing any substantive discussion about racism in school, the two young women deferred college admission for a year to collect first-person accounts of how racism plays out in this country every day—and often in unexpected ways.
In Tell Me Who You Are, Guo and Vulchi reveal the lines that separate us based on race or other perceived differences and how telling our stories—and listening deeply to the stories of others—are the first and most crucial steps we can take towards negating racial inequity in our culture. Featuring interviews with over 150 Americans accompanied by their photographs, this intimate toolkit also offers a deep examination of the seeds of racism and strategies for effecting change.
This groundbreaking book will inspire readers to join Guo and Vulchi in imagining an America in which we can fully understand and appreciate who we are.

Starred review from March 15, 2019
Two young women collect stories about race from a diversity of voices.Before they started college, Guo and Vulchi spent a gap year traveling across the country asking 150 people the same question: "How has race, culture, or intersectionality impacted your life?" "The responses," they write in their startling, moving, and revealing debut book, "were astonishing," giving eloquent voice to the meaning of intersectionality: the many "overlapping parts" of any individual's identity, including race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, nationality, ability, age, and physical appearance. Equally astonishing are the sophistication and insight that the authors bring to their collection. By the time they embarked on their research, they were already impressively knowledgeable about race; they had founded CHOOSE (princetonchoose.org) "as a platform for racial literacy," on which they shared stories from interviewees in the Princeton area; they had spoken at schools; and they had given a TED talk. Their yearlong investigation deepened and widened their perspective. They listened to people who grew up in racist families, some whose parents threw them out for being gay or transgender. Many encountered virulent racism: Traveling with her predominantly black softball team to a city that was home to the Ku Klux Klan, one woman recalls her fear at spending the night in a hotel. The next morning, the team left without stopping for breakfast. A Creole woman in New Orleans discusses the lifetime of secrecy experienced by light-skinned blacks who decide to cross the color line and pass as white. A Japanese-American tells about her family's internment for 4 years during World War II. "We accepted our way of life just because, culturally, we're very obedient citizens," she said, adding, "I still feel that America is the best country that we could be in." Besides the revelatory stories, the authors provide informative introductions, annotations, and a rubric for talking about identities. Clearly, they hope this volume will lead to social change. As one young Asian woman remarks, "research papers and big words aside, what are you doing to shake things up?"A stirring, inspiring collection.COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
