This is an excellent book. It discusses racism, really interesting to read about racism in Canada, especially as these stories are not all well publicized or discussed as widely as they should be in Canada. Really valuable as an example of the all-pervasiveness of racism - it isn’t only a thing for one country. I also really appreciated that it also included the issues of the indigenous peoples of North America - this isn’t always discussed but it’s really good to see it also in a book like this as the issues are not unrelated.
