Well Said

Rebecca Carroll on The White Gaze


Listen Later

Award-winning author Rebecca Carroll understood the allure of storytelling very early in life. Today, she has an extensive resume as a journalist, cultural critic, WNYC radio producer, and podcast host. She’s written several critically acclaimed books on race and racial identity in America. Her latest, Surviving the White Gaze, is a powerful memoir about her experience growing up as the sole Black child in an all-white community. She speaks to us about the art of crafting a memoir, the moment she first heard the term ‘white gaze’ from Toni Morrison herself, and her family members’ reactions to the book. Plus, how writing the memoir helped to release painful memories from her body and contributed to her overall wellness.
