Appendix B: Further Reading
The culture wars raging in the United States with respect to race, gender and policing has permeated every facet of American life. This book offers a critical perspective and valuable recommendations on the responsiveness of public officials to race-related crisis events. Particularly in relation to current controversies involving efforts to silence critical race theory and discussions on gender identity, this book is the one that you will always want to refer to in order to remind us of our nation’s complex and often troubled history. This same history, however, can teach us valuable lessons with respect to achieving social justice for all segments of contemporary American society.
