Our Hidden Conversations: What Americans Really Think About Race and Identity by Michele Norris

challenging emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Fascinating exploration of the complex under-the-surface experiences of race, in the voices of thousands of Americans who responded to Norris' invitation to send her cards with a haiku-like sentence and back-up writing if they liked.  Her chapter on why we all describe ourselves as "weary" of a conversation about race that we've never really had is challenging, inspiring and compassionate.
