leggsly's review against another edition
informative

This was great! The first half was the most interesting and informative to me. I liked learning about early childhood racial/ethnic/cultural identity development from a child psychologist. It was a breakdown of systemic racism from an angle I hadn’t learned a lot about previously.
The second part was also good, but more broad about how people’s racial identity gains complexity in early adulthood. Then there’s a chunk that’s just statistics about various races’ experiences in American schools. It was fine but didn’t have the personal touch I liked in the first part.
Beverly Daniel Tatum did such a great job reading the audiobook, too!!

A few good points were made that I didn’t know about. Overall, this book didn’t contain much that I didn’t already know. Shelving for now.

This book is an armory for anyone who fights against racism, willingly educates on the topic of racism, whose life is used as an educational tool for the privileged to learn from, and those who can no longer ignore the nausea they feel when then consider their race.
