Description
Austin Channing Brown's memoir is a powerful exploration of growing up Black, Christian, and female in a world that often falls short of its ideals of diversity. Born into a family that wanted to deceive future employers into thinking she was white, Brown's journey to self-worth is a testament to the complexity of America's social fabric. From her experiences in majority-white schools and churches to her work as a writer, speaker, and expert on racial justice, Brown shares her story in breathtaking detail. She sheds light on the pitfalls that kill our attempts at racial justice and invites readers to confront apathy, recognize God's ongoing work in the world, and discover the power of blackness. This book is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to understand the nuances of America's social divide and the ways in which white, middle-class Evangelicalism has contributed to rising racial hostility.
