In the satirical tradition of the New York Times
bestseller Stuff White People Like comes this witty
companion book to the “incredibly entertaining”
(Indiewire) film of the same name, which “heralds a
fresh and funny new voice” (Variety).
Right
out of college, Justin Simien wrote a screenplay about the
nuanced experiences of four black students on a
predominantly white college campus. The film, Dear White
People, garnered a Sundance Award for “Breakthrough
Talent” and has been hailed by critics everywhere.
Channeling the sensibility of the film into this book,
Simien will keep you laughing with his humorous
observations, even if you haven’t seen the satiric film.
News Flash—the minimum number of black friends needed to
not seem racist has just been raised to two. Rather than
panic, readers are advised to purchase a copy of Dear
White People. Whether you are a dear white person
wondering why your black office mate is avoiding eye contact
with you after you ran your fingers through her hair, or
you’re a black nerd who has to break it to your white
friends that you’ve never seen The Wire, this
myth-busting, stereotype-diffusing guide to a post-Obama
world has something for you!
With decision-making
trees to help you decide when it’s the right time to wear
Blackface (hint: probably never) and quizzes to determine
whether you’ve become the Token Black Friend™, Dear White
People is the ultimate silly-yet-authoritative handbook
to help the curious and confused navigate racial
microaggressions in their daily lives.
Based on the
eponymous, award-winning film, which has been lauded as “a
smart, hilarious satire,” this tongue-in-cheek guide is a
must-have that anybody who is in semi-regular contact with
black people can’t afford to miss!
