rachelja 's review for:
Black Like Me
by John Howard Griffin
I recommend reading the edition that has the 50th anniversary afterword.
There was a lot to be desired about how Griffin went about his experiment, but how things unfolded afterwards, as well as the afterword which detailed Griffin's life and career in equality movements. really put it in perspective.
There are ideas in this this book that feel painfully backwards, and yet aspects of it are alive and thriving today. What he wrote about how racism lives under a thin veneer of tolerance is dishearteningly accurate.
