I don't know if my issues stem solely from this book or if I was getting burned out listening to audiobooks, but I kind of struggled.

For starters, it was really interesting and I love the way she makes the reader change perspective. By viewing America as a caste system much like India, it changes the conversation and the way you view society. It was incredibly worthwhile in that respect. I also really enjoyed how she tied three societies together throughout the book- America, Nazi era Germany, and India. She included a lot of examples for all three and it was very educational.

I did feel the book was a little too simplistic. Like the ideas were all really good, but I wanted a lot more than what she offered. There were a lot of anecdotes instead of solid information and she spent a great deal of time rehashing the same points. Anecdotes and repetition for sure have their place and this book is meant to educate, but I found it a little lacking.

For sure a worthwhile read and I would definitely recommend it, but I've been trying to read more books on racism in America to educate myself and I don't think this was as useful to me as some of the others. But like I said at the beginning, this might also be colored by the fact that I needed a mental break from audiobooks.
