How to Say Babylon: A Memoir

It is evident that this memoir was written by a poet. The language, the prose, and the lyrical nature of the writing all serve to convey this story in a beautiful manner that reads like a sweeping family saga. Sinclair's memoir acts as a historical text of one family's upbringing within the Rastafari religion, but more than that, it tells the story of a strong, intelligent woman who has to find the power and beauty within herself and understand that every experience - good and bad - made her who she is. This is such a gorgeous memoir and it left me wanting to read more of Safiya Sinclair's writing. Highly recommend!
