A fine book, engagingly written, took a huge amount of research. The title is a little misleading: although racism against native Americans is touched on, the book deals mostly with racism against black folks. I thought the treatment of the period ending with Reconstruction was stronger than the rest of the book, but I enjoyed all of it nonetheless. Was shocked to learn that civil war-era abolitionists did not want to end slavery to allow freed slaves to join society, but rather so that they could be deported to Liberia or the Dominican Republic. Hardly anyone, including Lincoln, thought that blacks could successfully become equal citizens. Was also surprised to learn about the disparaging comments FDR made about blacks as a college student, and how fervently LBJ pursued the Equal Rights Amendment.

I read this book shortly after reading Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee. Together they are very much challenging me to re-think how I feel about my country's history.

Everyone needs to read this book! Kendi provides profound insight into racism through the lens of his lived experience. Shows us how racism is a cancer that has infected the human spirit and that if we aren't attentive we may be sick too. This book is very approachable and meets you where you are if you are willing to learn.

Excellent book. It takes time to read. It is packed with information that has not been widely shared in our education system. We all, in the US, harbor many racist ideas because racism is everywhere in our culture. There is no escaping it. But one can become aware and strive to overcome one's racism.
