This is an incredibly important book. I am not racist - or at least I didn't think I was but the discussion here has made me question many assumptions and concepts. At the very least a lack of knowledge and empathy on my part will have let me fall into the trap of racist behaviour or misunderstanding.
This book is not a polemic or rage and is all the better for that. The simple explanation of misunderstandings between and amongst different sectors of society provides a simple and irrefutable description of institutional racism in the world of academe. There is no suggestion that this is deliberate or vindictive but rather fuelled by ignorance.
This is a terrific work that should be read as widely as possible particularly by those with any interest or involvement in diversity or inclusion.
