10/10 Don't Reccommend

5 stars

It is my hope that you will never have to read this book, because the subject matter that it deals with is truly vile. However, sometimes you have to be around that one person who keeps suggesting that there's an essential difference between races. That is when you break out this book. This book clearly and methodically outlines the history of racism as well of the (lack of ) science surrounding race and genetics. It is a great guide not for debunking racists because racists tend not to care about facts, but for demonstrating the unreasonableness of it to others.

This is by no means a bad book, but it's very...pop history/criticism. It's going to be great for lots of people, and I'm glad Saini wrote it. But if you're already familiar with the history of eugenics or want a more scholarly take, this isn't the book for you.
