As i indicated during an earlier status update, I probably would have been better off having read the first book that this one is a remix of. I’m not exactly the target audience, being way past being a teenager and also not American. I do think the material being discussed is relevant and important for everyone to be aware of, but the way it was being presented here didn’t really work for me.
That being said, I am very happy to see these type of dense materials are being remixed so they’re more easily accessible for a range of audiences. The ideas on which racism is built are old and have changed a lot in their presentation but never at their core. This book helps track that development and illuminates those core ideas so that the reader can track them and identify them themselves.
