This book is an absolute MUST read for anyone wanting to learn the REAL history of our nation especially in regards to its colonization and treatment of Native Americans, Africans, as well as immigrants. It is a much more honest detailed account of events that took place in history on our soil. A very eye-opening view of race through the lens outside of racial dominance. I have been highlighting and underlining from page one.It was a required reading as a part of an elective course (related studies) at my university. My class was taught by an amazing professor whose grandparents were Japanese immigrants off the coast of California. I am grateful beyond measure to have read this book and taken the course. You go through life thinking you know, til a book like this comes along and makes you question everything you have learned. It is a very insightful, articulate, FACTS-based look at our nation's history and the intersectionality of race/gender/socioeconomics. One of the first lessons it teaches that as white Americans, we cannot nor are we expected to apologize for the transgressions of our ancestors. What we are asked, is that we ACKNOWLEDGE that we have benefited from SYSTEMS set in place to put us at a socioeconomic advantage over the minorities who built this great nation. It teaches that racism is not an individual problem, but a SYSTEMIC problem reflected in the prison system, housing (loan) markets, juvenile justice, foster care, education system, etc. It is supported by both past and present FACT-based research surrounding red-lining, foster care to prison pipeline, and Wells Fargo loan discrimination scandal, to name a few. It also teaches that race itself is a social construct created to identify, classify, and segregate us one from another with no real biological meaning. Read that sentence again...If this book angers you or makes you uncomfortable then you might want to take a good long look in the mirror and ask yourself why.
