Book Description
Stories from a Student of Sociology is a sharp, lyrical chapbook that blends poetry and social critique into unflinching commentary on systems of power. With the voice of both witness and participant, Tasjha Dixon dismantles the everyday violences of racism, sexism, classism, and control—naming how they live in bodies, schools, prisons, and policies.
These poems are not distant analysis; they are lived sociology. Rooted in personal experience and collective truth, Dixon writes with urgency and clarity, exposing how theory is born from survival and how oppression shapes language, memory, and voice. Each piece becomes both testimony and resistance—an insistence that the personal is always political.
Stories from a Student of Sociology is part critique, part memoir, part manifesto: a poetic study of society’s fractures and a reminder that the work of liberation begins in telling the truth.
