Resumen del Editor

Renowned, best-selling author Michael Eric Dyson makes his YA debut, with critically acclaimed author Marc Favreau, to deliver an urgent, enlightening account of racial inequality in America.

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 listeners 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.

Unequal

Excellent summary of American history. Should be required reading for all Political leaders and schools.

Real eye opener

My husband and I listened to this book each morning on our way to work and arrived mad, hurt, frustrated and wanting to demand Justice! This publication needs to be in schools to teach the freakin truth. They’re is a shift happening in this world. To the Nubians be the glory!!!

Another reason to vote!

Always compelling and thoughtful , I appreciate his insight to the issues we face as Black Americans. There has never been more of a need to get out and vote than now, especially in Texas where I live and Florida, the two biggest states spewing this racist disinformation. Keep giving us this vital info Dr.

Excellent and extremely important to read!

Mind opening, heartbreaking and courageous. Thank you for writing a truth that is both challenging and important to understand.

Michael Eric Dyson Delivers

Michael Eric Dyson Delivers once again reminded us again of why we need to be steadfast and intentional with our thoughts words and deeds.
The book taught me, enhanced my awareness and encouraged me to ask more questions and get a true understanding of the whats and whys.
Our history is important, actually it is crucial.
Our history needs to be told and should never, ever be watered down, erased or forgotten. Ever!!

Excellent read!!

I loved it More truths need to be shared with the world of the unequal system America has built!

Dyson Delivers Powerful History Lesson

We can never get enough of the details of our history as Americans. Michael Eric Dyson tells our story in small chapters so we can use each segment as reference material. The deliberate acts of torture and violence leveled on us as a people whether overt or discrete is devastating to our humanity. We must face this truth because it empowers us to stand up today and realize we are still on the battlefield. Read and cherish this book.

Very educational!

Easy listening! I like that his voice is not monotone, voice over to Dr. Martin Luther King was awesome.
