phonte's review against another edition

challenging dark emotional reflective sad tense slow-paced

5.0

incredibly powerful book. If the content of the book wasn't saturated with technical knowledge I would recommend for everyone to read this book. It truthfully goes to show how biases/behaviors that exist within cultures don't populate overnight and simmer through generations. I commend Ms. Washington for compiling all the evidence that probably took tens of years to obtain and collecting accounts from individuals that were effected.
