(Southern Illinois University Press 2008 2d edition)
In this invigorating, shocking, and inspiring book, thirty of America's most talented writers step from behind the curtain of objectivity to turn the race spotlight on themselves. Instead of tiptoeing around the subject, they bare their souls and tell the truth in essays never published before. WHEN RACE BECOMES REAL is the first book to reveal what it really means to be black--and to be white--in the twenty-first century. The result is riveting.
