Everything you need to understand or teach The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae.
A comic and provocative examination of what it can mean to feel socially awkward, Issa Rae’s memoir The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl makes the case for representation of a new social type. The author reflects on her upbringing as the daughter of a Senegalese immigrant to the United States and an African-American mother. Various themes of identity, alias, social discomfort, and belonging are explored throughout. The narration is at once intimate and confiding, as well as biting and sardonic.
