Recenzje

Bold and evidence-driven, Voodoo: The History of a Racial Slur exposes the disturbing truth that 'religious racism' levied upon custodians of African heritage religions is the only type of racism that most people still find permissible and even necessary in the twenty-first century. In this long overdue volume, Boaz provokes readers to investigate why and demolishes all rationalizations of the past.
