Darkroom: A Memoir in Black and White is an arresting and moving personal story about childhood, race, and identity in the American South, rendered in stunning illustrations by the author, Lila Quintero Weaver. In 1961, when Lila was five, she and her family emigrated from Buenos Aires, Argentina, to Marion, Alabama, in the heart of Alabama's Black Belt. As educated, middle-class Latino immigrants in a region that was defined by segregation, the Quinteros occupied a privileged vantage from which to view the racially charged culture they inhabited. Weaver and her family were firsthand witnesses to key moments in the civil rights movement. But Darkroom is her personal story as well: chronicling what it was like being a Latina girl in the Jim Crow South, struggling to understand both a foreign country and the horrors of our nation's race relations. Weaver, who was neither black nor white, observed very early on the inequalities in the American culture, with its blonde and blue-eyed feminine ideal. Throughout her life, Lila has struggled to find her place in this society and fought against the discrimination around her.Binding Type: Paperback

Perfect for my pup
Color: White, Color: White
At first I thought this was going to have a cheap quality and an uncomfortable fur like material but I was soo wrong. This stuffed animal is light weight but the first night my 9 week old bernedoodle slept with it, he fell asleep so quick and it was the first time he didn’t cry in the time we have had him. He loves to cuddle with this stuffy during nap time and when the heartbeat is on, he doesn’t chew it which is crazy because he loves chewing on stuffed animals. If you are even considering getting this, I 100% recommend pulling the trigger. Love love love it and it is a new necessity in our house

Calm and Happy
Color: White
My new puppy lives her emotional support toy. After the first 2 nights, she was yelling this toy showed up and immediately calmed our nights. Now she attacks it as if she's still with her siblings.
