Marita Golden's new book is a hard-hitting meditation on the role that color plays among African Americans and in wider society. Her memoir offers a nuanced look at identity and the irrepressible and graceful will of the human spirit. Peppering her narrative with “Postcards from the Color Complex,” reminiscences of some of the author’s most powerful experiences, Golden takes us inside her world, and inside her heart, to show what a half-century of intraracial and interracial personal politics looks like. Join the author for a lively discussion of the color complex that is sure to resonate for many women. |
