When I Was White
This book details 24 years in the life of a Black woman who, for 14 years, passes for white. The sociological significance to which the book aspires broaches many subjects: color differential among blacks; prostitution; harsh realities of ghetto life; welfare; black struggle; self-hate among blacks; & the psychological insecurity of escaping one's ethnicity. Its hard-hitting, tough-talking realism provides a unique force & personality all its own. To order contact: Johnnie M. Foote, 56 Palms Publishing Comapny, P.O. Box 31, Palm Springs, CA 92263.
