challenging informative reflective slow-paced

3.5

Some parts focused a lot on the law and the supreme court. I think they were a very relevant part of the book, especially considering the current political climate and the US Supreme Court. But I had heard of most of the central cases already and so I was able to follow the arguments. People who are unfamiliar with the US supreme court and landmark cases however, might struggle with the case names and the descriptions of the different courts and judges. I had to reread a lot paragraphs in these section a couple of times. I am a nonnative English speaker tho.

challenging emotional informative reflective tense slow-paced

3.5

This book was slow paced but had interesting information that will be particularly helpful for framing my dissertation. The idea that white people are enraged (knowingly or not) by the advancement of Black people supports the lack of investment in the education of Black children in this country. It also supports the rise of the Donald Trump era and everything that MAGA stands for.
