Summary / AnnotationCOMMUNITY REVIEWS
One of the Most Important Books on Racial Injustice submitted by steeny17 on August 10, 2020, 8:39pm There are so many reasons we have for systemic racism in America. Blacks are set back because of unequal access to education, income disparity, or a lack of father figures. But what if all of these apparent "roots" were actually the results of a larger problem at work? That is the question discussed here, and it has completely changed my view of my own prejudices. Take the time to listen to this book, and I trust you'll be confronted with your own prejudices, misconceptions, and blind spots as well. Everyone should read this book at least once.
Such an important perspective submitted by emaelshaikh on August 18, 2022, 4:56pm We all need to read this living in America
