really important book to read, but pretty heavy topics for people who’ve experienced these injustices - may be triggering.

A very good entry level book about race (as the title suggests). Very concise and informative.

If you’ve read a handful of race books before then you probably won’t get a whole lot of new information out of this one, but if you’re interested in learning and just starting out then start here!
