The Myth of Race/The Reality of Racism
by
"This book is a concise 101 course on the difference between race and racism and their roots as social constructs fueled by white supremacist ideologies both consciously and subconsciously. Compelling. Groundbreaking...at least for those new to equity work or ignorant of American history. Concise and perceptive, El-Kati speaks truthfully about a largely and ever present ignorance in the social fabric of humanity."
