Bliss Broyard demonstrates that race can make Americans crazy or trap us in mysteries; but sometimes, like it or not, it unravels our self-understanding from the maddening thickets of the past. This book is one part personal and family memoir, and one part historical interrogation of the meaning of race in America. It answers cynical conservatives who would have us just forget about race with a sustained story about why the past really matters.""
