You Can't Touch My Hair

and Other Things I Still Have to Explain

As a white male, I feel the least I can do right now in this fraught political moment is try to understand other points of view (And, no I don't really care about understanding Trump voters.), particularly those of women and minorities. The last few years have seen a flood of books dealing with both and Phoebe Robinson's collection of essays can sit on the shelf with books like "Shrill," "Bad Feminist," and "Sex Object." Robinson, who hosts "2 Dope Queens" with Jessica Williams, deals mostly with race and gender in a way that is both funny and heartfelt. She's much younger than I am, so I don't always get her references or writing style, but it's a book that tackles important issues and gives you a much-needed perspective on these issues.
