pickWow, I wish I would have read this book sooner. It is so well written, engaging, it teaches so many things and unveils the workings of race and caste in American society. It‘s long, but it‘s not hard to read. I always wanted to keep learning and reading more chapters. This feels like it should be required reading for all Americans.
While I have this in book form I listened to an audio edition. Worth every hour.
pickCompelling argument that we live in a society with a Caste system like India, or like with the Jews and others in the Third Reich. I sort of feel like after I had read “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee“ many years ago. There is a lot of history to overcome!
pickI feel like I learned so much from reading this—I‘d recommend it to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Starting an important book which I've been meaning to read for a couple of years now.
so-soFirst half shared amazing concepts that made me rethink racism. Very informative. The mentions of lyncing being public events was sickening. Liked the connections made between India and US caste system. It really does make sense. Could‘ve ended there. The second half lost me. Turned part memoir that didn‘t feel right in a way that is hard to describe. It didn‘t connect all together for such a long read.
I just started reading this book which discusses racism and “casteism”. It is beautifully written and makes so much sense, but it is deeply sad.
