The State Must Provide
The Definitive History of Racial Inequality in American Higher Education
Adam Harris - 2021-08-10
Рейтинг Goodreads
Explore the shameful reality of racial inequality in American higher education with this eye-opening book. From its inception, colleges and universities prioritized white students, actively excluding Black students from equal opportunities for success. In The State Must Provide, author Adam Harris analyzes the legal, social, and political obstacles that have perpetuated this system, and offers a bold solution to help rectify the historic underfunding of historically Black colleges and universities. This must-read book chronicles the struggle for equal education and highlights the work that still needs to be done.

America on Fire
The Untold History of Police Violence and Black Rebellion Since the 1960s
Elizabeth Hinton - 2021-05-18
Рейтинг Goodreads
"America on Fire" takes readers on a troubling journey through the history of racial injustice and its consequences, including urban uprisings and rebellions sparked by police violence. Through exclusive sources, the author uncovers a previously hidden geography of violence and reveals how the optimistic story of a post-civil rights United States is nothing but a myth. This book is a powerful corrective to the widely held belief in progress towards greater inclusiveness and equality, and a warning that unless we fundamentally change our approach to systemic racism, rebellions will continue in the future.

AMERICA ON FIRE by @elizabhinton “offers a groundbreaking, deeply researched and profoundly heart-rending account of the origins of our national crisis of police violence against Black America,” writes @PenielJoseph. I couldn’t agree more. What a book.      источник

A scathing indictment of white male America's deliberate efforts to subvert women, people of color, and the disenfranchised, this ambitious survey of American history explores the backstory of America's growth, from immigrant migration to sociopolitical movements that reinforce male power. Through interviews, research, and powerful personal writing, the author reveals how white men have long maintained a stranglehold on leadership, at the cost of everyone else's pursuit of happiness.
