Review of 'White Rage' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

In this engaging and approachable read, [a:Carol Anderson|184936|Carol Anderson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1535725690p2/184936.jpg] presents a timeline of the systematic and concerted efforts to oppress Black people in America, extending well past the end of the Civil War into current times. This book is a perspective-shifting read that I think should feature more prominently on recommended reading lists for racial awareness.
