Achieving an instinctive awareness of all things racist will enable you to better stand up against racial inequality and take action to promote that same awareness to the people around you. In this journal, Kendi employs his exceptional skillset as an educator to help guide you as you commit to this vital task.

Originally: Caine's Jawbone (Victor Gollancz Ltd., 1934)
In 1934, the Observer's cryptic crossword compiler, Edward Powys Mathers (aka Torquemada), released a novel that was simultaneously a murder mystery and the most fiendishly difficult literary puzzle ever written. The pages have been printed in an entirely haphazard order, but it is possible - through logic and intelligent reading - to sort the pages into the only correct order, revealing six murder victims and their respective murderers. Only three puzzlers have ever solved the mystery of Cain's Jawbone: do you have what it takes to join their ranks? Please note: this puzzle is extremely difficult and not for the faint-hearted.
