I deleted the review. It was an interesting experiment. Please move on
I took my time with this book; reading a chapter or two then spending some time thinking about. So much information to unpack; so many new conclusions to consider. Facts are always open to interpretation, new understandings, and disagreements about their importance, but they must in the first instance be brought to light. That is the greatest success of The 1619 Project. Moreover, the writing is beautiful and informative throughout; the poems are moving.

I finally finished it in April. It was good, and I learned a lot - however it was a bit uneven, which I think is to be expected with a project like this - different chapters written by different authors. The chapters were organized around different issues like citizenship, self-defense, inheritance. Prior to each chapter there was a short historical snippet and a poem or short fiction piece.
