Reviews

Shawn Blue’s work stimulates thought-provoking exploration of systemic racism deeply rooted in this nation’s history. Through historical analysis, this book explores the inhumanity of slavery, and the deliberate construction of a racial hierarchy purposefully designed to disempower people of African descent. Bridging the past with the present, Blue shifts attention to modern-day institutional practices of racism, offering timely intervention at a time when those in positions of power strive to dismantle diversity and inclusion. I urge every reader to engage with this text, not only as a source of knowledge, but as a call to action for anti-racism and transformative change. * Karia Kelch-Oliver, Licensed Psychologist, Emory University, USA *
