5.0

Oof. I had only previously read three of the eight essays in this collection, and really enjoyed the additional commentary, but it's not easy content to get through. It's especially embarrassing for me to admit that I didn't know a lot of what he covers in The Case for Reparations. Coates is so thoughtful and powerful and these essays are so necessary. I want everyone I know to read this (or at least find the essays online).
