Just a terrific book, I couldn't put it down. A very accessible read, and good insight to the reasons behind a lot of major societal issues, like police violence against marginalized people, the existence of gangs, the illegal drug trade, and more. Non-Black North Americans of all ages would surely benefit from reading this book, and hopefully grow some empathy and understanding from hearing the viewpoint of people that is underrepresented in the mainstream.
