The topic of racism is a divisive one for Americans, especially as stories of racial profiling, police brutality, and discrimination increase and go viral every day. This nonfiction social studies title for young adults examines the history, power, and effects of racism in the United States, focusing on Indigenous and American Indian segregation, Chinese exclusion, Hispanic and Muslim prejudice, and the legacy of slavery within the Black community. It explores anti-minority laws and bias, cultural appropriation, 14th Amendment cases, and rights inequalities. Includes sidebars, a glossary, a timeline, and profiles of George Floyd and writer Ta-Nehisi Coates.

      Gr 6-10-This series serves as an excellent introduction to key issues in current American discourse. Each book offers both a historical and modern perspective, highlighting the complexity of the topics. A Nation Divided starts by exploring the founders' opinions on political parties and traces how those views, along with the parties themselves, have evolved. It also emphasizes the roles of race and economic equality in shaping today's political landscape. Voting Rights covers the long struggle for suffrage, particularly across racial and gender lines, and explains the current state of voting. The Immigrant Experience examines the evolution of U.S. immigration laws. Throughout the series, the books strip away the hyperbole and present well-researched facts. They feature sidebars that dive into historical events, political figures, and misinformation, providing additional context. Each book concludes with biographies of key figures, a timeline, a glossary, a bibliography, recommended websites, and an index. VERDICT Highly recommended.
