The Reckoning: Our Nation's Trauma and Finding a Way to Heal by Mary L. Trump
4.0
"To avoid the topic is to allow the injustices to continue"
At it's core, this book is about the multitude of ways in which America has continually, and unashamedly created an ever-growing psychiatric wound that desperately needs to heal. Displaying how very large communities essential for this country's growth (esp. Indigenous, Black and Latin Americans) have been continually abused, MLT speaks on a well researched and complex history to display the trauma and deep hurt of racism, deeply embedded into America's core. She makes no excuses, and asserts that the time for healing is now.
