If you’re specifically interested in 1) Compilers, and 2) Racket,
I think it’s hard to do better than Jeremy Siek’s Essentials of Compilation. He comes from the Indiana group, as, indirectly, does just about everything around here, and his approach is very closely related to Dybvig/Chez, including a nanopass architecture. Shout-outs also to Andy Keep and Abdulaziz Ghuloum, who did a lot of work related to this. Here’s the link to the most recent course web page: https://iucompilercourse.github.io/IU-P423-P523-E313-E513-Fall-2020/ … including a link to the book. I would also be remiss in not mentioning Ben Lerner’s NU compilers course, for which lecture notes are online: https://course.ccs.neu.edu/cs4410sp20/#%28part._lectures%29 And finally, I want to take a brief moment to impugn the Dragon Book; the last time I checked, I thought that it represented a very outdated approach to writing a compiler. I’m probably biased, but if you want a heavy book on low-level programming, I would go for Keith Cooper’s Compilers book. Jeremy Siek’s book, by contrast, is free, describes how to implement high-level languages such as Racket, and does not contain an encyclopedic discussion of low-level optimization. Everything here is just my opinion, of course!
