From the acclaimed author of "Shackling Water" comes the first
great race novel of the twenty-first century, an incendiary and
ruthlessly funny satire about violence, pop culture, and American
identity.
Macon Detornay is a suburban white boy possessed and politicized by
black culture, and filled with rage toward white America. After
moving to New York City for college, Macon begins robbing white
passengers in his taxicab, setting off a manhunt for the black man
presumed to be committing the crimes. When his true identity is
revealed, Macon finds himself to be a celebrity and makes use of
the spotlight to hold forth on the evils and invisibility of
whiteness. Soon he launches the Race Traitor Project, a
stress-addled collective that attracts guilty liberals, wannabe
gangstas, and bandwagon riders from all over the country to
participate in a Day of Apology--a day set aside for white people
to make amends for four hundred years of oppression. The Day of
Apology pushes New York City over the edge into an epic riot,
forcing Macon to confront the depth of his own commitment to the
struggle.
Peopled with all manner of race pimps and players, "Angry Black
White Boy" is a stunning breakout book from a critically acclaimed
young writer and should be required reading for anyone who wants to
get under the skin of the complexities of identity in America.
