Your review is very useful, Lisa! It puts the book's sample in the context. I agree with your view that prejudice, racism and tribalism are highly topical issues and this book is praiseworthy for addressing them in detail, using the author's personal experiences.

I really liked that the author included a lot about his own personal experiences living with these factors; I think this helps the reader put the book in perspective. I also loved the abundance of statistics and information about past world events, turning the book into a treasure trove of information. I liked again that the author used a lot of real-life instances, including past occurrences and current happenings. I find that this paints a clearer picture in the mind of the reader.
-I like to read about real-life instances and personal experiences but not really a fan of statistics. That will encourage me to read this book. Thank you for a prejudice, racism and tribalism free review.

The truth is that, it's a primer for white people. If not, why then the prejudice, racism and tribalism?

Thank you for your explanative review of Prejudice, Racism and Tribalism: A Primer for White People, Anthony M. D'Agostino, MD. He insightfully delves into three sensitive topics: racism, tribalism, and prejudices, breaking them down to the smallest bits for the readers. Personally, I think one has to read this book to get their own interpretation of the uniqueness of what the author is conveying in his book. Prejudice and racism comes from all corners of the world and it is up to each individual to decide how they personally want to either be part of the problem or solving the problem. Congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I've never read a book on racism, tribalism, and prejudice, but how long I've been longing to read a book like this that is able to explain these concepts from a fresh and proper perspective. Hope that like me, you start a reading adventure that can further our understanding of life ...

There are some topics which we know are bad but we don't understand where they stem from. When we study them socially, we get a better understanding of them. This book helps with that. Congratulations on the BOTD, and best wishes for future projects.

While it looks like an intriguing book on the history or racism and prejudice, I think I will skip the book for now because the tends to undermine some experiences that I might find offensive. Thank you for your review!
