Book review: the books that inspired Imani Perry: “whitewashing race by Michael K. Brown has a human sensitivity that is often lacking when we talk about race and power”

Imani Perry is a distinguished scholar of law, literature, and American culture and history who has written extensively on racial inequality. Imani shares her early interest in African American politics and social justice movements, tells how Shakespeare drove her interest in inequality, and discusses her passion for the photography of Roy DeCarava.
