But its worst and most paradoxical gift was to allow people to believe that they were only, mainly, exclusively, white, or Black, or Western, or Oriental. Imperialism consolidated the mixture of cultures and identities on a global scale. Labels like Indian, or woman, or Muslim, or American are not more than starting-points, which if followed into actual experience for only a moment are quickly left behind.

This is the final book of the trilogy, and I need it to be perfect! I just finished the third Shadow Reader book! Hurray! *throws confetti* The book is currently with my editor, and I know it still needs a good amount of work, but I’m so excited about this one.
