The last chapter did a great job of tying all the points together & pointing towards reconciliation & a better future.
I was shocked to learn about the displacement of the Chagossians by the US military & the militarization of Diego Garcia.
This should be a required reading in schools in the US. It’s a shame that the US history is often white washed & I wish that more white US citizens made a substantially increased effort to learn about this history, to demand change from these harmful systems that we live in, and to create a positive change for the future of humanity and our planet. I think most people are too numbed out trying to survive capitalism to make a bigger effort but I remain hopeful

I can see it potentially being too dense for some teen and young adult readers, but I think in general it is a great starting point for learning the true, bloody history of America.
