'It’s less a window than a funhouse mirror, one which reflects a vision of whiteness back on itself to disturbing effect.' –angiejaime

Mexican immigrants to the United States and their experiences at the border are simply missing from not only the pages of Cummin’s latest effort but from the cultural context, which gave way to its exaltation in the first place.

Ultimately, I find the disappointing issues within this catastrophe to be facets of the same flawed prism through which experiences are viewed when they are not our own. From a purely literary perspective, the novel’s prose fails because of an innate gap in knowledge; simply put, it’s a problem of notenough about an experience to portray it believably, because of lack of experience or lack of depth of research — and, perhaps, empathy.

A Night of White Empathy at a Reading for American DirtA Night of White Empathy at a Reading for American DirtOn the top floor of a Barnes and Noble in New York City, on the release day for Jeanine Cummins’s controversial and immediately celebrated novel American Dirt, an audience hums with excitement as it waits for Cummins to take the stage. Rows of middle-aged white women, in between discussing emails from the schools their kids go to, take selfies with their copies of American Dirt, the purchase of which garnered entry to the event. A woman sitting next to me let everyone know that she’s Jeanine’s friend, and I count the people of color in the room besides myself. There appear to be eight, not including Barnes and Noble employees. When someone close by says, “There’s Jeanine,” the room stops, and everyone turns to the back to look for her.
