I actually bought this book for the sole purpose of me not being able to get it from my school's bookstore. I bought it for my Political Science class and when I say it's really informative and my class is amazing. I'm pleased to say I won't sell it back. It'll now be a reference book!

Great Condition

The title has a double-meaning. The text makes learning about the government simple (like black and white), but it also has a focus on racial discrimination against Black people. The book uses recent or popular events as examples, which also makes applying the info easier to digest.
