The Social Life of DNA: Race, Reparations, and Reconciliation After the Genome

Alondra Nelson (Goodreads Author)
This past academic year I took a class called Biotechnology and Society, which quickly became one of the best classes of my entire academic career. The capstone of the class was based on Nelson's book, and I'm so glad it was. Nelson's insightful writing style asks the reader to reflect on every page. We read different attitudes and perspectives on DNA ancestry testing, not just one argument pushed throughout the whole book. I loved the nuance and care Nelson used when writing The Social Life of DNA, acknowledging diverse opinions and allowing the readers to put together a conclusion themselves.
