I read this and presented it to classmates for my AA studies course. It was absolutely phenomenal in that the book explains the beginning of racism and how it has affected us until today with factual evidence, accounts, and receipts. If you are interested in the richness and greatness of African peoples in America and the entire world or want more insight into the confusion how white and black in relation t o class became in relation to skin tone. This book could be more complex to digest for so I read this and presented it to classmates for my AA studies course. It was absolutely phenomenal in that the book explains the beginning of racism and how it has affected us until today with factual evidence, accounts, and receipts. If you are interested in the richness and greatness of African peoples in America and the entire world or want more insight into the confusion how white and black in relation t o class became in relation to skin tone. This book could be more complex to digest for some so I would recommend keeping a pen and paper handy as there are many concepts and events to track to make easier on the reader. I have kept this book permanently and fully intend to share with others to learn and enjoy.
