I Talk about It All the Time

“Beautifully, immersively written, these everyday and reflective snapshots from the life of a Black, queer Norwegian woman are searing, insightful, and so recognizable for other women in the Black European diaspora.”—Gloria Wekker, author of White Innocence: Paradoxes of Colonialism and Race

“A stunning memoir told in illuminating fragments. Joof’s devastating narrative captures what it costs to navigate spaces where you are constantly treated as if you do not belong.”—Ethelene Whitmire, author of Regina Anderson Andrews, Harlem Renaissance Librarian

“This gemlike book relentlessly dramatizes the particularities of Norwegian racism. The power of Joof's observations increases in proportion to their understated precision. Her gentle voice is wholly deceptive. She slices through the delusions, denials, and defensiveness that distinguish the unthinkable racism of Scandinavian society.”—Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic: Modernity and Double Consciousness
