In this unusually honest book of essays and other writings, Emily
Bernard examines the complexities of interracial friendships:
Latino and white, black and Asian, black and Jewish. In essays from
such celebrated writers as Pam Houston, Darryl Pickney, Luis
Rodriguez, and Susan Straight, among many others, you'll meet a
young Italian American college student who rooms with a
sophisticated young black man who can trace his college-educated
elders back several generations; a second-generation Korean
American from the "hood" who is more comfortable with Latinos and
blacks than with Korean kids who grew up in the suburbs; and a
Jewish man who reflects on his friendship with a black opera
singer. Though culturally and ethnically at odds, perhaps, they
call each other friends; working together, playing together,
opening their homes and hearts, even when they have every reason
not to.
Sometimes controversial, sometimes funny, but always
thought-provoking, "Some of My Best Friends" is a timely work on a
subject that has yet to be fully explored.
