Finally, here is the definitive answer for anyone who has contact with people of another race -- in companies, schools, neighbourhoods, or other social situations -- a book that finally reveals that race is not the unfathomable mystery it is usually made out to be. In a revealing and accessible discussion, this book explains why whites are uneasy about blacks and how blacks react to this; why blacks suspect the worst from whites and why white explanations don't work; why myths about sex remain so prevalent; why blacks and whites don't watch the same TV shows; why they often think differently about their hair and their bodies; and what they can do together to make their relations better.
