I'm not sure what I expected when I picked it up, but it wasn't this collection of information from so many people. This is not a book about race so much as a collection of occurences. This is never an easy thing to read, but I am always glad that I did. These kinds of books really get you thinking about your own thoughts or upbringings and how you relate to others. As multicultural families I don't think you can ever spend too much time reading this type of book. I don't know that I would recommend buying it - but do check it out of the library.

Berger juxtaposes a series of brilliant short takes about the politics of race with personal and often disturbing vignettes about his own racial coming-of-age. These, in turn, are amplified by other voices and points of view: the words of ordinary people coping with fears and anxieties about race, and passages deftly drawn from the work of James Baldwin, Roland Barthes, Toni Morrison, and other writers. Berger has become a passionate observer of race matters, searching out the subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations of racial meaning in everyday life. In White Lies, he encourages us to reckon with our own complex and often troubling opinions about race. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
