Finalist for the YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Adults
Award
New York Times bestselling author Michael Eric Dyson and critically
acclaimed author Marc Favreau show how racial inequality permeates every
facet of American society, through the lens of those pushing for
meaningful change
The true story of racial inequality--and resistance to it--is the
prologue to our present. You can see it in where we live, where we go to
school, where we work, in our laws, and in our leadership. Unequal
presents a gripping account of the struggles that shaped America and the
insidiousness of racism, and demonstrates how inequality persists. As
readers meet some of the many African American people who dared to fight
for a more equal future, they will also discover a framework for
addressing racial injustice in their own lives.
