A good book that taught me some things - but definitely not light reading! Recommend for those adopting transracially. (  ) autumnesf | May 20, 2008 | on pg. 112 bookears on pgs. 102, 77, 10, 105, 109, 95 ( ) angellreads | Mar 14, 2008 | Fantastic book. Easy to read, yet goes deep in challenging your assumptions. I'm in the UK and this book is very much written for an audience in the USA - for example, the author gives short 'sketches' of different issues for different communities in the US which are very particular to the USA. However, in general terms this provides an immensely useful 'mental toolkit' whoever you are and where ever you are. ( ) Coobeastie | Feb 22, 2007 | Just started but already it's fascinating. Easy to read, very informative, just one of those about life/culture books that everyone should read, particularly those living in the US (though it is relevant to everyone) (  ) amf0001 | Jan 4, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com (ISBN 0465083617, Paperback)Anyone who's been to a high school or college has noted how students of the same race seem to stick together. Beverly Daniel Tatum has noticed it too, and she doesn't think it's so bad. As she explains in this provocative, though not-altogether-convincing book, these students are in the process of establishing and affirming their racial identity. As Tatum sees it, blacks must secure a racial identity free of negative stereotypes. The challenge to whites, on which she expounds, is to give up the privilege that their skin color affords and to work actively to combat injustice in society.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
