We Gon Be Alright Chang Summary

In We Gon’ Be Alright Chang wrote a collection of six essays that go on to describe racial inequalities that are happening in our county and how these inequalities effect every culture, not just one specifically. Chang writes these essays that include the problematic issues of the riots in Ferguson, the whiteness of Hollywood, and even Donald Trump running for president and promoting white supremacy. Chang shows how all of these topics lead towards a racial divide of the country. While Chang’s essays educates the people on the cultural issues that are faced today, the essays also inform the reader that things in our country could still be “alright”. Chang explains to the reader that there is still potential to change the racial divide and the
culture to make our society a better place with equality for all. We Gon’ Be Alright will support my overall claim on specifically how Donald Trump creates a racial divide of our country and supports white supremacy. This book will also tie into my conclusion and importance on how even though all these politicians and people create racism in our society, we still have time to right our wrongs and change our America for the better for all cultures. Finally, this is a credible source because it was published through the Picador Publishing Company and the author Jeff Chang has written other popular books on racial problems in America such as Can’t Stop Won’t Stop and is the executive director for the Diversity in the Arts.
