All the Colors We Will See
Patrice Gopo grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, the child of Jamaican immigrants who had little experience being black in America. In 'All the Colors We Will See,' Patrice seamlessly moves across borders of space and time to create vivid portraits of how the reality of being different affects her quest to belong. In this poetic and often courageous book of essays, Patrice examines the complexities of identity in our turbulent yet hopeful time of intersecting heritages.
