Students, consider this for your academic research. Individuals, consider adding this to your reading list or book club.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To coincide with the release of&nbsp;<em>Reading Against Racism<\/em>, our newest&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.berghahnbooks.com\/podcast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Salon B podcast<\/a>&nbsp;episode features four interviews with writers included in the collection.
