Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Raymond Obstfeld

4.0

This year, I’ve been getting more and more into non fiction. Now, some non fiction novels I pick up read like an extremely boring report written by a college student who’s barely passing their English class. But this book?

This book did wonders.

The writing was phenomenal. It was sophisticated, clean, and didn’t drag on. There weren’t too many numbers thrown around. Everything the author said served a purpose.

There was also a lot to learn. I learned a lot about the education system, and how people were treated, why they were being treated that way, etc.

Overall, I’ve never been so invested in a book. However, as it goes on, the book becomes more dense. Definitely worth a read though. It’s encouraged me to challenge my beliefs, especially political.
