The acclaimed author of "To Sir, With Love" recalls his lifelong
struggle against ignorance and racism while sharing a train ride
with a bigoted white neighbor
On a commuter train traveling from New Canaan, Connecticut, to New
York s Grand Central Station, a well-heeled white suburbanite
reluctantly takes the only available seat and eventually strikes up
a conversation with the black man sitting next to him. The white
businessman s verbal barrage of insensitive questions and offensive
remarks incites a rage in his black neighbor that can barely be
suppressed. But the offended rider is E. R. Braithwaite former
Royal Air Force pilot, Cambridge graduate, schoolteacher, social
worker, diplomat, and bestselling author and he has triumphed over
prejudice and hatred throughout his truly extraordinary life and
multifaceted career.
Against the backdrop of a short railway commute, E. R. Braithwaite
powerfully recounts a personal history of remarkable
accomplishments in the face of bigotry and hatred. Part memoir,
part treatise on racial intolerance and oppression, and the
ignorance that engenders them, "Reluctant Neighbors" is the
unforgettable story of one man s continuous struggle against
injustice and his unwavering dedication to the pursuit of human
dignity."
