Review by Lori from The United States | 6/18/2009

Great cover of a difficult and complex subject. I plan to give this book to one of my nieces, if only so she can read the essay entitled "Letter to a Young Black Girl I Know." A little less denial and a lot more conversation about this subject would go a long way.

Review by Danita from Philadelphia, PA | 3/10/2008

Having been told as a child to "getcho self outta that sun, girl. You gon' get blacker than you already are!" this book was a revelation. So much of what I've thought and felt about racism and colorism has been beautifully expressed, much to my mind's relief.

Review by Rose from Bronx, NY | 12/5/2007

This is one of my favorites books of all time. It is a subject that is rarely discussed(at least academically) and this book lays one woman's views for all to understand.
