Required Reading for the Disenfranchised Freshman by Kristen R. Lee

3.0

A solid read about institutional racism and its effects in and on college education. The character creation and development are a little bit obvious and heavy-handed, but they get the point across about the experiences of Black students at a historically white university, in this case a fictitious Ivy League school. The author shows readers everyday microaggressions, blatant racism and racist acts, and what makes an institution toxic. This will be good for book clubs, especially parent-child clubs or reading programs, and for high school classes.
