What is the book Tom is reading in Chapter 1
The book The Rise of the Colored Empires espouses a racist philosophy which Tom seems to think is profound. The content of the book implies a certain lack of intellect on Tom’s part. It also reveals Tom as a bigot. Tom is convinced in the superiority of the white Nordic race and all the garbage that goes with that. Tom pretty much lives in a vacuum of ignorance and entitlement.
