Récit dur du calvaire d'être noir dans les années 30-50 aux US.
Très bien écrit et le format court est parfaitement adapté.
On pourrait dire avec les mots contemporains que cela évoque le racisme systémique.

The genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology but it is really just marketing for power.

#Morrison is here talking about US literature but her words, which will not be erased, speak to the fascism of our current day: "The act of enforcing racelessness in literary discourse is itself a racial act. Pouring rhetorical acid on the fingers of a black hand may indeed destroy the prints, but not the hand. Besides, what happens in that violent, self-serving act of erasure to the hands, the fingers, the fingerprints of the one who does the pouring?"
