I do think it might be a touch too short. The audiobook was only 4 hours but I suppose that is putting the onus back on the reader to seek out more and further their antiracist education.
The music between each section wasn't really for me (mostly because I listen to all my audiobooks sped up) but I think it might be really helpful for some, more reluctant, readers.
As a non-American, this educated me on a lot of aspects of American history that I was aware of in concept more than practice. I was particularly struck by notable pop culture phenomenons being framed as they were throughout. I never realised the connections between them and perpetuating racist rhetoric.
The use of the three key terms, segregationist, assimilationist and anti-racist, were very clear and useful.
