★STARRED★ Clearly written sentences and an even-handed presentation of the facts characterize this important volume in the Core Library Guide to Racism in America series (6 titles), which helpfully explores and contextualizes the surge in protests against police brutality over the past several years. This is a hot-button topic that inspires a lot of strong feelings, and this volume is admirable in its neutral tone, its adherence to facts, and its avoidance of bothsidesism.

A solid purchase about current racism in the United States. The standout title Race and the Media in Modern America is a highly recommended purchase; it presents timeless information that is not as often found in other series about modern race relations in the United States.
