Summary:

"Awakening bears witness to the most egregious disparities between African American people and white people caused by the structural injustice inherent in virtually every institution in the United States. The authors help white people see and understand how the deck has been stacked against people of color. Their eye-opening research leads to deeper understanding of what Black people have suffered and to seeing without excuse the very real harm caused by racism"-- Provided by publisher.
