Nevertheless, We Persisted: 48 Voices of Defiance, Strength, and Courage by Amy KlobucharMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
The title of this book strikes me as opportunistic capitalizing on a phrase that was popularized by Senator Warren’s political dedication. It’s an essay collection by various authors with an introduction by Senator Amy Klobuchar... and no essay by Warren. This collection is all over the place. Some of the essays are related to issues of political oppression or representation and overcoming challenges. Some of the essays seem only tangentially related to the theme. More importantly, some of the essays are poorly written and poorly edited- full of self-help-style cliches and positive magical thinking. This collection is fine if you want a gift for a young person but I’d advise you to skip it if you’re an adult.
