Revolutionary thinking

Black Berry, Sweet Juice is "on being black and white in Canada"I went into this book thinking it would be the same old race diatribes that I've been prone to my entire life. There should be equality between races, there is one race: human, etc. These are all things I believe, but are also fairly obvious, so everytime I read anything about race, I get frustrated by the same things being reitterated.Lawrence Hill made me think of things that I hav never thought about before. He's well research, incredibly unbiased, recognizes that race IS an issue and that in order to abolish racism Canada must recognize that! Insightful, well written, and well researched. A must for anyone, and a most definate must for any mixed race men and women.
