I had to read this for school, but I'm glad I did. It is a synopsis of many different backgrounds of many people from Iranian-American to black to gay to cancer survivor to class stradler and everyone in between. I think it was brilliantly constructed and I learned a lot about autoethnography, something I had heard about and wasn't particularly interested in, but now I am. Some of the descriptions I identified with, others gave me pause, and still others held my interest with metaphors, similes, I had to read this for school, but I'm glad I did.

Good autoethnography examples in this book. Some obviously were better than others, but all touched on how significant it is when experience is communicated as based from personal experience. Some of the examples from this book include issues of race, class, language, disability, religious conversion, body image in homosexuality (bear vs. ‘perfect physique’), dealing with cancer, ethnicity, privilege, and marginalization.
