This one came on my radar recently, and I thought of picking it up.
This was a really good read as it gives a commentary from the author's point who happens to a journalist which I'm mentioning to make a point about her amazing writing skills.
The whole book is full of so many small anecdotes/incidents which are personal or historical but gives us a big picture of how the whole discrimination works. There are a lot of incidents which are from US before or after the civil war but those are true for any discriminating society.
One thing which I kind of disagree is that in today's world the discrimination is still there but the rightfully your's can be delayed but can't be denied which is true for all.
We've made progress and from here on it's going to be way forward only as the new normal settles down.
Another thought which came as an after thought was that the imbalance of power is always going to stay in one form or another. Discrimination is something which we can't just wish away and only the conscience with discipline can deliver the larger goals in the future.
Peace!
