HOW TO BE LESS STUPID ABOUT RACE On Racism, White Supremacy, and the Racial Divide

Fleming offers an masterful critique of the American culture's failure to meaningfully engage in the discussion of racism and white supremacy both before and after the election of Donald Trump. Melanie Taylor delivers the narration in a matter-of-fact tone that conveys the nuances and complexity of Fleming's thoughts as she explores racism and how it is enacted in history, the media, politics, literature, and much more. Taylor understands Fleming's verbal connotations of different moments and simple phrases, and she inflects passages with the right amount of emphasis and projection. Powerful in its own right, Fleming's prose is elevated to gospel through Taylor's talented delivery. L.E. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: DECEMBER 2018]
