My friend Garrett Bucks wrote a book, "The Right Kind of White," recently published by Simon & Schuster. In his own words, "I wrote a book! It’s called The Right Kind of White and it’s about a lifetime spent trying to prove that I was better than other White people (and how doing so wasn’t all that helpful)." In the words of a reviewer, "A brilliant, unsparing memoir about the dreamworld of white American liberalism where good intentions often mask the origins and consequences of white supremacy."
Garrett is doing a reading this early evening (Tuesday, June 4) at Mill Valley Public Library and tomorrow (Wednesday, June 5) in Oakland. Information below, and you can read more about Garrett here: https://lnkd.in/gch4dgc4. Please share with others who may take an interest.... I first met Garrett ~20 years ago when he was on Fulbright in Sweden, and I was in Norway. He has a wonderful sense of humor and is a deeply good person. I am proud to have him as my friend.
