This book is an amazing resource to have for anybody interested in thinking about or talking about race and racism, especially as people who are in positions of power in the helping professions. The concepts of the book are easy to understand and challenge every bit of how we think and live in our racialized world.

I thought this text was very well written and actually quite readable which made for a good experience with what can be a very difficult and upsetting topic to study. The authors are also very sensitive to the possible feelings and reaction of the reader, something that I've never experienced in a Racism text before. I highly recommend this book.

This important work deserves to be read outside of the sociology classes for whom it was obviously designed. Highly readable and well researched it is a book that is a major addition to the literature on race in the US
