CHAPTER

Rethinking Race and Intelligence

It highlights notable achievements of African immigrants, such as the inspiring story of chess prodigy Tani Adewumi, and questions the biases inherent in discussions of intelligence. By using humor and critical examination, the chapter encourages a re-evaluation of societal definitions of race and intelligence, advocating for a recognition of shared humanity across cultures.
