Ibram Kendi covers an extensive chunk of the history of racism and racist ideas in the United States in this book.
For readers looking for 💕: history, racism, American history, social issues
My thoughts ðŸ’: the author ties things together well throughout, and really shines a light on how racism evolved to stay ahead of laws against racism over time. It was a bit dry, but I'm also not a big history reader. It was also a thick book! The audiobook is 18 hours long.
