"A formidable desert located between Los Angeles and Las Vegas in the arid plains of California, the intense heat of the region thwarted numerous attempts to explore its oceans of sands. It was not until 1871 and the expedition led by Lieutenant Leo G. Wheeler that Death Valley began to reveal her secrets to man. Among the discoveries: the desert is the lowest point in North America, the rainfall evaporation potential is the highest in the world, the cracked plains hide an enormous interstellar refueling depot for crafts from another world, and over 900 species of plants can be found in the valley."

Great read!
Format: Kindle
In addition to being an engaging lecturer, Stoermer writes beautifully! “Again and again, people confronted the distance between the compact as advertised and authority as exercised.” Gorgeous prose and achingly painful history.

No Index or footnotes
Format: Paperback
I have been following Prof Stoermer’s videos preceding this book and pre-ordered it on that basis. I to read it but am a bit disappointed and disturbed that there is nothing by way of an index or footnotes, and no reference I can find that they are available elsewhere. My 3 therefore, has nothing to do with the substance and will update this review after I read it. But I don’t understand the absence of such material.

Every american should be encouraged to read this text
Format: Kindle
This book had a profound impact on me. It has changed how I view all political discussions, history discussions, policy discussions, and race discussions. As a Hispanic Caucasian, I was acutely unaware of much of America's racist history. I knew the obvious examples, but this book really shows how extensive the racism is and its profound effects that are still heavily in effect today.
Kendi's thesis is short and simple: racist ideas were created to justify racist policies. This is counter to the common argument that ignorance and racism spurs racist policies. Kendi lays out his main thesis at the beginning of the book and follows it up with example after example to back it up. Keeping the thesis and definition of racism simple really helps emphasize Kendi's point throughout the book.
This book is also thorough; so much history is covered by this book. I spent a lot of time looking up some historical events or figures in more detail on Wikipedia to get a fuller picture. If you are unfamiliar with American history, then expect to move very slowly through the text as you look everything up for proper context.
I absolutely love this book and strongly encourage everyone to read it. However, I do have a few gripes with it:
- Kendi often misled me with his wording or juxtaposition of statements. I understand he is trying to make a statement, but I wish he wouldn't do this. One example that comes to mind is Roosevelt's naming of the White House. Kendi makes it seem like Roosevelt named it the White House after the public uproar over his invitation of Booker T. Washington over for dinner. However, there doesn't appear to be any evidence to support this, and there is some indication the White House was already referred to by that name well before the dinner. To Kendi's credit, he doesn't explicitly say the naming was done to appease the public, he just points out that it happened and people were still upset. Another example is his mention of black unemployment rates rising sharply in the early 1980s. This is true, but all unemployment rates rose during that time due to the recession. Yes, the black unemployment rate was worse, but he doesn't make that point: he only mentions the black unemployment rates. So as a reader you have to be careful of the facts you internalize from the book.
- The organization of the book didn't really do anything for me. He tries to break down the text into 4 main sections, each focusing on a different historical figure. However, the focus on the figures didn't really contribute much, in my opinion, to his thesis. It brought some organization to his book, but not much. I would have preferred he spent more of the book going into details of some of the more significant policies or events than to keep looping the historical figure back in.
- Text can read a bit haphazardly at times. There are certain sections of the book where I feel Kendi is jumping around history pretty quickly to different events and it becomes difficult for me to follow. Eventually he gets around to making a point, but it usually takes too long for me to fully grasp it at the moment. I have to often re-read these sections a second time to really get it.
Again, please buy this book and read it. We would all be better off to know this history and the racist policies behind it.
