His father was a Jewish liberal who worshiped Martin Luther King, Jr.; his mother a dark-skinned Sephardic Jew who hated black people. Berger himself was one of the few white kids in his Lower East Side housing project. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBerger's unusual experience--and his determination to examine the subject of race for its multiple and intricate meanings--makes \u003ci\u003eWhite Lies\u003c\/i\u003e a fresh and startling book. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBerger has become a passionate observer of race matters, searching out the subtle and not-so-subtle manifestations of racial meaning in everyday life. In \u003ci\u003eWhite Lies\u003c\/i\u003e, he encourages us to reckon with our own complex and often troubling opinions about race. The result is an uncommonly honest and affecting look at race in America today--free of cant, surprisingly entertaining, unsettled and unsettling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurice Berger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0374527156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780374527150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Farrar, Strauss \u0026amp; Giroux-3pl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.40w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBlack Issues Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 18","brand":"Maurice Berger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996741959935,"sku":"9780374527150","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_738c3f8d-c907-481f-a0ff-2d877507b535.jpg?v=1683343427","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/white-lies-maurice-berger-9780374527150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
