Reviews

The book's strengths lie in centering the voices of those most harmed by strategic racism, the well-researched financial trail of spending to support the political agenda of a core group of the ultra-wealthy, and the examples of community-generated solutions to end systemic racism. Freeman does a great job supporting his claim that a small group of ultra-wealthy people are using strategic racism to undermine democracy and amass a disproportionate amount of wealth for themselves. * ILR Review *
