The following is a review from Community Change Inc.
One day, a young man realized that race had been affecting him, making it a “terrible year.” He decided to confront it by questioning strangers on the street. J.A. Mitchell developed the conversations into the book 30 Days of Race to present the “Idea of Race” and its social realities like a tangled yarn ball or a wildflower bouquet, with some shriveled and ugly pieces indeed. The result of the process is powerful.
The conversations and the people he spoke with varied. They were a mix of races, ages, genders, and opinions. Mitchell asked them if we focus too much on race in the U.S., if all white people are racist, what people think about race and dress, or race and international politics, and so on. His project become like a sociological or anthropological study, gathering threads of narratives used to explain the concept of race that arose through natural flows of conversation. * Click here to read the entire article.
