3.0
This book is well written and the author clearly did extensive research into the history of racism in the United States. The fact that he used his own life experiences gave the book a more accessible feel because it read more like a memoir than a book on political science. In terms of content, I appreciated that he took a view point that, with a few exceptions, did not attack or blame any specific racial group when defining racism. However, there was some definite bias in some of the opinions/definitions presented in the book and the ideas tend to lean toward a more liberal viewpoint. This is fine, but it is good to note that the book is not a completely unbiased assessment of racism in the United States.
