Unraveling racism and it's place in our history and culture is a huge task. Expecint anyone to grasp all of the nuance seems nearly impossible. This book will help. By explaining concepts visually as much as with text we have an easier time digesting the concepts. Of course, the graphic novel format is limited in some aspects and means that a lot of nuance will be left out. That is to say, this is by no means a full exploration of the ideas and history. Instead, think of this book as a primer. It's an introduction that will get the reader thinking critically about racism and culture so they can go into a traditional text with some understanding.
