Really well researched and argued. All chapters are well constructed and contribute to drive the main point of the author. After reading, I can say I have a deeper understanding of institutional and systemic racism in Canada. The text is fairly easy to follow and should be accessible for someone who doesn't have a strong background in racial/discrimination studies; it makes for a good introduction to the field.
