Race in America by Desmond Muhammad. Describing the experience of growing up black in America, this book charts the evolution of his feelings and ideas about his place in society, America and the larger black movement. Many Americans feel they are living in a Post-racial society, noting the election of Barack Obama as proof. Others believe that, although the civil rights revolution has made great strides towards equality among all races, certain people of color continue to be treated as second class citizens....

Race in America by Desmond Muhammad does an amazing job of illuminating this debate. He peppers his writing with stories from his own life, but also includes some very thoughtful discussions with other black Americans from all walks of life. This book is chock full of insights, from how to improve your basketball game to advice on how to get through your day with less stress.
Although it may seem oversimplified, Race in America provides a unique perspective on the experiences of many black Americans, especially those who have been in the minority for generations. It provides a counterbalance to much of the material provided by others who adhere to a politically correct viewpoint. This text is recommended to college students, who may want to take a broader look at America and its racial demographics. Those with an interest in world affairs and history will also find much valuable in this text. Those just looking to broaden their horizons may also feel compelled to read this book, as it offers an insightful look not only at race and ethnicity in America, but at America and the wider world.
