A crucial archive of Black culture and history that's unfortunately weakened at times by its liberal academic sensibilities, particularly with its adherence to respectability politics and the lionization of war criminal Barack Obama.

While a little bit redundant at times, this book was a gripping take on life as a Black American during this time period. It was both extremely educational and engaging, with a narrative/story structure that kept the book from feeling like a history book.
