Annie S. Barnes has solicited the stories of 150 black college students from middle-class backgrounds, who tell of their frequent encounters with racism--at school, at work, in their neighborhoods, at restaurants and shopping malls. Through their disquieting testimony, the daily indignities that black Americans still suffer are brought to light. Following these personal accounts, the author offers simply yet profound ideas for what blacks, whites and others can do to comfort--and respond to--racism in all its quises.
