A well researched book on racism. It has a lot of knowledge to pass across. Definitely one to read.

[Emma Jane Grey]

This sounds like an excellent pick for those interested in the historic context of black Americans and how everything has ended up where it is today. Definitely could be a valuable resource!

[Alida Spies]

It is quite shocking to think that today, after many years since racism was outlawed, it still exists, albeit in a more covert manner. Thank you for the great review.

[Toroti Akogun]

Thank you for this review and for putting this book on the spotlight. Truth is, the book will achieve its purpose only if it is read by not just black Americans, but by people all over the world. People should not be denied their basic human rights, and it's sad to see that a lot of blacks are denied the opportunity to exercise some rights in many countries of the world. Thanks to Vickey Robinson for shedding light on this.

[Nisha DSouza]

Thank you for a well-summarized review. This book is very interesting because, as much as many people would like to deny it, racial discrimination is widespread. I commend the author for having written on a less-spoken and controversial subject. It is a much-needed topic, in this day and age, when Black Americans face discrimination in every aspect of their lives. I am sure readers will find this book incredibly insightful and thought-provoking. Congratulations on the BOTD!

Just from reading the review I found myself seeing the world from very different point of view. The vocabulary is neither boring, nor too complicated to comprehend. It also becomes clear that the reviewer has a lot of knowledge in historical aspect as her mentions of those famous figures sound known and close to her.

Racism is one of the most feared topics to be discussed, yet it is the most terrible disease in our society today. It was bold of the author to delve into this topic and shed light where possible, praise, and critique where necessary. I think I have to add it to my next-to-read list.

[Tars]

I am really sorry if someone finds my words offensive, but as a person raised outside of slavery history, I believe there was said more than enough about it. I might be wrong, I still prefer to look forward and not dwell on the past, so maybe after all this progress it is time to move on? Apologies, I will have to pass this book, since it is against my tastes and principles.
