Personal Opinion:
If it was up to me, I would personally buy and mail this book to people I know because its just that good. For the curious reader its not a progressive book that ignores or dehumanizes those of European origins that also uses the words "white privilege" but instead it calls upon poor people no matter race or religion or creed and gives us hope and an action plan to follow and unspools from our eyes the ugliness that has been fed to us for centuries. The chapters are extremely well researched that are dotted with difficult lessons as well as anecdotes and more than anything its a unifying book rather than divisive one, and both sides of the parties are called out for failure. I definitely dream that the author's words will one day be put into action instead of just being on paper.
