I read books like this often, these days, for an ongoing research project about the construction and deconstruction of racist ideas.
I’m included this in the list even though I did not read it for the same reasons I have read the others, namely, enjoyment, but it has contributed to the way I am reading and engaging with subjects all the same. It is perhaps useless to summarize this book, as it is itself a summary of a sweeping history, and one of the shorted books I have been able to consume on the subject and its refractions. So, I will not attempt to do so. I will only say that if you are interested in the ideas I have mentioned so far, then it is worth reading, and it is an easy enough task to undertake.
