[Sistermadly]

Yes, yes, YES! I hadn't heard about this book until now, and now I'm regretting using my Amazon gift certificate on a CD.

Why would I attend? Because I think I'm in a special place to understand both sides of the equation. I can understand why people get defensive on all sides of racial arguments. I can understand why feelings get hurt on all sides. I can understand the reasons why/how social and historical baggage work to keep a system of racial divisiveness in place. I'm dedicated to fighting against such a system in any way possible, and I'm especially interested in finding solutions to it that come from a woman's point of view.

Edited to add: I'd also be interested in a discussion that moves beyond the black/white dichotomy and broadens the discussion to include other ethnicities as well.
