"Candid, insightful, hard-hitting testimony against the myth of racial colorblindness."-- "Kirkus Reviews"
"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"
"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"
"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"
"[Joof's] collection of fragmented anecdotes is radical, candid, and unapologetic, documenting with introspection the experience of being Black in a white society in which macro- and microaggressions are ubiquitous. . . . Sharp, complex, and lingering, the memoir I Talk about It All the Time places its masterful compilation of devastating truths in the context of Scandinavian racism."-- "Foreword Reviews (starred review)"
"An important and exceptional memoir that will give readers greater insight into and understanding of the pervasiveness of racism, bias, and discrimination against a person's sexual orientation."-- "Library Journal"
"[A] sharp, one-of-a-kind memoir. . . . [Joof's] reflections on colorblind racism, the systemic unbelonging of people of color and the labor they must perform to dismantle it are keen, caustic and right on time."-- "Ms. Magazine"
