Description
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother is a memoir that explores the complex and often fraught relationship between two individuals from vastly different backgrounds. Born to an Orthodox Jewish mother in a small southern town, James McBride's mother struggled with racism and prejudice throughout her life. Meanwhile, James grew up in Brooklyn with his 11 brothers and sisters, navigating the challenges of being black in America. This powerful and moving memoir weaves together two narratives, one of family, identity, and belonging, to create a rich tapestry of experience that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
