A review by alaskastardust
How to Be Black by Baratunde R. Thurston

4.0

I thought this was an excellent way to go about discussing blackness and race relations. Unlike a lot of texts about these subjects, the language is accessible and there is a great deal of levity between hard-hitting revelations. The angle of this book works well because I think it appeals to a wide array of people, not just folks who would "usually" read things pertaining to race.

I would consider this a must-read for anyone, but especially white liberals who are at risk of inadvertently saying some wild shit that may be covered in this book.
