Zustand: Gut. 4 sheet, 310 p. Inside very clean. A powerful, beautifully written memoir about coming of age as a black girl in an exclusive white suburb in "integrated," post-Civil Rights California in the 1970s and 1980s. At six years of age, after winning a foot race against a white classmate, J. Baszile was humiliated to hear her classmate explain that black people "have something in their feet to make them run faster than white people." When she asked her teacher about it, it was confirmed as true. The next morning, Jennifer's father accompanied her to school, careful to "assert himself as an informed and concerned parent and not simply a big, black, dangerous man in a first-grade classroom.". A deeply personal view of a significant period of American social history, the book deftly balances childhood experiences with adult observations, creating an illuminating and poignant look at a unique time in our country's history.
