This is not an easy book to read. It's well written, and satirically on-point, but the stark racist language and the growing revelation that things have not really changed in this country despite years of struggle make it a challenge. If it can teach a modern audience anything, it's that the hypocrisy of powerful people just seeks another form in another age.
It would not surprise me to learn that there are members of our current administration who have read this book unironically, looking for ideas.
