[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with you, OP! Why does the author of American Dirt get trashed but not Delia Owens? I hated this book, but this is the first thread I’ve found with like mindeds- everyone seems to love the book. [/quote] Honest answer: American Dirt was far more problematic, racially, on its face. The racism was right there up front, while WtCS's racism was a bit more buried. It is a primarily a story about white people behaving badly, with badly drawn one-dimension Black characters thrown in for "authenticiity." But when you set the racism in WtCS alongside the white savior colonizer mentality on display in Owens' African adventures, it becomes more clearly a trend. [/quote]
