Topics include love and marriage, racism in the workplace, religion, community, and bringing up children in a racially divided world.</p><p>First published in 1994, <em>Black, White, Other </em>continues to be a relevant and seminal resource in discussions of race in America. Now available in an expanded 20th anniversary edition, it features updated commentary from Lise Funderburg and a foreword by novelist Mat Johnson.</p><p><em>Black, White, Other</em> is not only for the millions of biracial Americans who have yet to see themselves accurately rendered on the page, but also for everyone interested in the subject of race and the prospects for achieving true pluraism in America. <em>The New York Times </em>lauded the book as "important...an example of how we can talk about race with feeling, humor, and dignity." <em>The Buffalo News </em>wrote that the "pages seethe with a tapestry of life....No book is more likely to force a reader to confront his beliefs about race than this one." And <em>The Indianapolis Star </em>noted that "Funderburg lets her subjects ask-and answer-the controversial, touchy questions that many wonder but few dare to pose."</p><p> </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Black, White, Other <em>is an example of how we can talk about race with feeling, humor, and dignity."</em> - The New York Times</p><p><em>"No book is more likely to force a reader to confront his beliefs about race than this one."</em> - The Buffalo News</p><p><em>"Funderburg lets her subjects ask-and answer-the controversial, touchy questions that many wonder but few dare to pose."</em> - Indianapolis Star</p><br>
