We Are Not Yet Equal: Understanding Our Racial Divide

A powerful and timely exploration of the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the United States, drawing on the history of the Civil Rights Movement and the author's personal experience as a black woman in America.Anderson (White Rage) offers a trenchant analysis of the ways in which the promise of equality and justice has been thwarted by systemic racism, from the end of the Civil War to the present day. She examines the role of white supremacy in perpetuating racial disparities in education, housing, healthcare, and criminal justice, and she argues that the struggle for racial equality is not a distant memory, but an ongoing battle that requires constant vigilance and activism.Anderson's writing is clear, concise, and powerful, and her use of personal anecdotes and historical examples makes the book both accessible and compelling. She offers a searing indictment of the ways in which America has failed to deliver on its promise of equality and justice for all, and she challenges readers to confront the reality of systemic racism and to take action to dismantle it.
