Synopsis "White Like Her: My Family'S Story of Race and Racial Passing"
As seen on The Today Show and in the Washington Post's most inspiring stories of the year! &;Important in helping us understand America&;s complex racial history.&;&;Kenyatta D. Berry, Host of PBS&;s Genealogy RoadshowIncludes a new afterword by bestselling author and Philadelphia Inquirer journalist Solomon Jones In the historical context of the Jim Crow South, author Gail Lukasik explores her African-American mother&;s decision to pass, how she hid her secret even from her own husband, and the price she paid for choosing whiteness. Haunted by her mother&;s fear and shame, Gail embarks on a quest to uncover her mother&;s racial lineage, tracing her family back to eighteenth-century colonial Louisiana. In coming to terms with her decision to publicly out her mother, Gail changed how she views race and heritage. With a foreword written by Kenyatta Berry, host of PBS&;s Genealogy Roadshow, and brand-new afterword written by bestselling author Solomon Jones, White Like Her is a unique and fascinating story of self-discovery and redemption that breaks down barriers.
