An Essential Text on Modern Society
5 stars
This book is rigorous, honest, devastating, vital, and (unfortunately) still timely. Combining macro sociological analysis, in-depth interviews, and a biting wit, Bonilla-Silva has produced a masterpiece that lays bare the racism that still lies at the heart of American society. The updates of this book after its initial publication are even more illuminating, continually reinforcing the points made in earlier analyses. I started listening to the audio book version of this with my kids, and it's one of those rare books that has to be absorbed by every generation, and I would argue everyone in society. Highly recommend.
