I’m not a huge fan of books about history, but I really enjoyed this book. When I was originally sent a review copy of this book, I thought it was just a regular book about the history of white supremacy. To my delight, it was actually a collection of writings from various authors who contributed to this book. This definitely made the book a bit more enjoyable for me because it covered a wide range of topics around the history of white supremacy in the United States with different styles and tones throughout the book. I learned a lot that I hadn’t known before, and it’s interesting to see how much work we still have to do in modern America. Kathleen also has a chapter in this book that’s phenomenal and focuses on the most recent years. White supremacy is a word that gets thrown around quite a bit these days, so it was nice to learn exactly where it comes from and how it’s oppressed Black people as well as minorities so we can work on finding solutions. If you’re interested in learning about this topic, this book is a great place to start.

Great read packed with valuable information. The quality of the writing is overall very good but does vary a bit from essay to essay which did slow down the reading for me personally.
