I first heard of this book years ago, on the Daily Show, and promptly added it to my TBR list. So imagine my delight when Libro.Fm was giving out free Audiobooks this last Black History month. So yes, I read this in audio, and the narration was excellent (even going out of her way to differentiate what was a quote and what wasn't; too often in non-fiction audiobooks, the narrator does not).
This book was insightful and easy to read and understand. It gave a concise history leading up to the #BlackLivesMatter protests, had a detailed analysis of race relations in America, and ended the book with strategies to move forward with, which is often something that many political non-fiction books lack. It's academic, but not inaccessible. Overall, an excellent look at the state of race relations in Obama's America.
