Nico and Peter shared the same White American mother but had different fathers. Nico's was White; Peter's was Black. Growing up in California in the 1980s and 1990s, Nico often forgot about their racial differences until one night in March 1994 when Peter was attacked by a White man in a nightclub in Los Angeles. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nico began writing \u003ci\u003eBrothers\u003c\/i\u003e with the hope that investigating the attack would bring him closer to Peter. He could not understand that night, however, without grappling with the many ways race had long separated him from his brother. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This is a memoir of loss--the loss of a life and the loss at the heart of our racial divide--but it is also a memoir of love. The love between Nico and Peter permeates every page of \u003ci\u003eBrothers. \u003c\/i\u003eThis achingly beautiful memoir presents one family's resilience on the fault lines of race in contemporary America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nico Slate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1439923825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781439923825\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Temple University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.32w x 0.85d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/27\/2023","brand":"Nico Slate","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44074540761343,"sku":"9781439923825","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b072beae-16a1-4565-adc0-f532cd523def.jpg?v=1685454344","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/brothers-nico-slate-9781439923825","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
