i've had this book on my TBR list for ages and now that i've finally come to it, i think it's a good primer for those who are interested in learning more about racism in the united states and unlearning their personal biases, which is exactly what the book bills itself as. i wish i read this book earlier in my academic journey rather than right now because i think it would've been more directly helpful then, but i would still recommend this to others who are at the starting point of their personal journey with race.
