New York Times veteran Lena Williams candidly explores the everyday
occurrences that strain racial relations, reaching a conclusion
that "no one could disagree with" (The New York Times Book Review)
Although we no longer live in a legally segregated society, the
division between blacks and whites never seems to go away. We work
together, go to school together, and live near each other, but
beneath it all there is a level of misunderstanding that breeds
mistrust and a level of miscommunication that generates anger. Now
in paperback, this is Lena Williams's honest look at the
interactions between blacks and whites-the gestures, expressions,
tones, and body language that keep us divided.
Frank, funny, and smart, It's the Little Things steps back from
academia and takes a candid approach to race relations. Based on
her own experiences as well as what she has learned from focus
groups across the United States, Lena Williams does for race what
Deborah Tannen did for gender. Finally, we have a book that
traverses the color lines to help us understand, and eliminate, the
alarmingly common interactions that get under the skin of both
blacks and whites.
