DEAR WHITE PEOPLE: A GUIDE TO INTER-RACIAL HARMONY IN "POST-RACIAL" AMERICA
In the satirical tradition of the "New York Times" bestseller "Stuff White People Like" comes this witty companion book to the "incredibly entertaining" ("Indiewire") film of the same name, which "heralds a fresh and funny new voice" ("Variety").
Right out of college, Justin Simien wrote a screenplay about the nuanced experiences of four black students on a predominantly white college campus. The film, "Dear White People," garnered a Sundance Award for "Breakthrough Talent" and has been hailed by critics everywhere. Channeling the sensibility of the film into this book, Simien will keep you laughing with his humorous observations, even if you haven't seen the satiric film.
News Flash--the minimum number of black friends needed to not seem racist has just been raised to two. Rather than panic, readers are advised to purchase a copy of "Dear White People." Whether you are a dear white person wondering why your black office mate is avoiding eye contact with you after you ran your fingers through her hair, or you're a black nerd who has to break it to your white friends that you've never seen "The Wire," this myth-busting, stereotype-diffusing guide to a post-Obama world has something for you!
