Key takeaways from the book
- Use language as
room and not as cage
- The huge difference of
who is named and who is naming
- The privilege of being seen as
individual
("this stupid man" vs. "this stupid old white man").
Respectful curiosity vs. interrogation (or inspection)- Bonus
Why this book is so valuable to me
