Everyone in academia should read this book. It calls out the experience of so many of us that most people refuse to acknowledge: racism, classism, ableism. All of these are still extremely prominent even in places that claim to be "committed to DEI" even in California where I live and work.
Dr. Prescod-Weinstein lays everything out so well but without talking down to you or coming off like she is right and you are wrong. She doesn't claim to have all the answers or to know how to solve everything while still pointing out the very real issues that have to be addressed.
Oh and the physics is pretty interesting but easy to understand (for a neuroscientist at least haha!)
A must read for a academics and folks who want to try to make the world a better place.
