Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

JD Jackson delivers a powerhouse narration, his voice both authoritative and vulnerable, perfectly complementing Watson’s narrative. The audiobook’s pacing is excellent; it moves swiftly from personal anecdotes to broader political discussions without feeling disjointed. A standout moment comes when Watson discusses the aftermath of the Charleston church shooting—Jackson's delivery amplifies the gravity of these events. However, some sections feel overly academic in their analysis, which can drag slightly. Overall, Under Our Skin is a must-listen for anyone seeking insight into contemporary racial issues and individual resilience.
