Title: Funny - only book about race that didn't make me mad!
Review: I am not biracial; I'm not sure I even know anyone who is biracial but Angela Nissel has a way of writing that makes me feel like everything I'm reading is happening to me. This isn't a "It is so hard to be mixed and black in America" book; it's almost like an good episode of All in the Family: strong topics, laughs, but never enough drama to start a fight while watching (or in this case, reading.)What I appreciate most is that Nissel doesn't hit you over the head with her views nor does she claim to be speaking for anyone other than herself. My favorite essay was Nissel's experience as an "ethnically-vague stripper". Only a gifted writer can write about topless dancing and make me laugh until I choked on a crowded subway car!
