| Summary, Etc. |
Examines episodes in United States history involving race and racism that have often been omitted, minimized, or simplified in traditional historical accounts and school curricula. Through thirty-eight short chapters, Khanna and Korgen explore subjects ranging from the experiences of enslaved people and Native Americans to discriminatory laws, racial violence, and the influence of American racial policies beyond the United States, showing how these events continue to shape contemporary understandings of race and inequality.
