How to Be Black

By Baratunde R. Thurston

Book Overview

For those who want to add a dose of humor as well as autobiography to their class discussions about race in America, The Onion's Baratunde Thurston shares his 30+ years of expertise in being black with helpful essays such as "How to Be the Black Friend," and "How to Speak for All Black People." How to Be Black will connect with black students who might share the same experience of being one of the only black people at work, in a group of friends or in a class--and it will jumpstart class discussions on the portrayal of minorities in media and the prevalence of discrimination.
