Sikivu Hutchinson - Godless Americana: Race and Religious Rebels and as a bonus, because it's written by a white man...

- codezero 12y agoAwesome, thanks, I'll have to check some of these out!
- toth 12y agoNot that I hold it against him, but José Saramago was a white guy (although he was pretty tan). It is a pretty great book.
- JoergR 12y agoTrue, mixed him up with Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Whoops...
- another_sigh 12y agoHow about top 5 all time good books by non-whites (not just what you read in 2014).
