Another White Black Woman

I too am a White Black woman and this book captures the complexities of our life experiences. The author is candid and honest and demonstrates the reality of living in two, same yet very different worlds. For those who ever wondered, get the book.

I really enjoyed this book.

As a biracial teenager I was delighted to read a book that addresses the issue of race identity. Judy Scales-Trent makes some excellent points regarding race divisions in today's society. Not only does Ms. Scales-Trent present her information in such a way that anyone can identify with, but all the information in this book has been researched and is quite valid. I learned about things, such as the racial purity law, that I never new existed. It really made me think about what my race means and how it shapes who I am. This is a great book for both teenagers and adults, biracial or not.
