Racism
Racism shapes lives, histories, and systems in ways both visible and deeply hidden — and the books in this section confront that reality head-on, from courtrooms and classrooms to the streets of America and the legacy of empire. Through personal stories, historical reckonings, and sharp social analysis, these works illuminate how racial injustice is built, sustained, and challenged across generations and cultures.
