Critics Review
“If you’re like me and struggle with timeliness, this collection of essays from Manny Fidel might be just the humorous placation you need. Through his own personal experiences and historical and pop culture references, Fidel explores the concept of time and how it functions differently across intersections. The author brilliantly argues that after toiling to build this country for free or reduced wages, people of color not only deserve the extra time for themselves, but they should be afforded the opportunity to be late for anything they want.”—Essence
