Review Quotes:

This book is a must-read for anyone still trying to process the events of August 11-12, 2017. The authors, all UVA professors, bring a unique, personal perspective to this analysis. In crafting these incisive chapters, they help to confront and invert UVA's complicity in promoting racism. This is a hallmark of thoughtful, responsible intellectual leadership. As a concerned American, a proud UVA alumna, and a scholar of race and politics, I recommend this book to anyone who seeks to broaden their perspective on the overlapping issues of white supremacy, free speech, public policy and the role of the university in promoting equality.

--Andra Gillespie, Emory University, author of The New Black Politician: Cory Booker, Newark, and Post-Racial America
