Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Shayna Small delivers a standout performance in this 13-hour journey through American xenophobia. Her narration is both measured and passionate, ensuring every word lands with impact. The first chapter on anti-Chinese exclusion laws sets an intense tone, while the later discussions on immigration policies feel incredibly relevant today. However, some sections can be dense, and a more varied pacing might help keep listeners engaged throughout. Lee’s writing is meticulous, but Small’s energy ensures that even potentially dry passages remain captivating.
