. The premise for Adams book is simply hilarious...it is essentially a guide for Whites on how to conduct themselves in establishing friendships with people of color. A "How to not put your foot in your mouth" book for the uninitiated. The second NPR interview was a roundtable interview with notable Black author DeWitt Gilmore, whose pen name is Relentless; Malaika Adero, senior editor for Atria Books; and Nick Chiles, editor-in-chief of travel magazine, Odyssey Couleur. The discussion was extremely informative and somewhat confrontational regarding the state of Black literature, specifically as it relates to "urban" literature. But hear for yourselves and enjoy!Sunday, March 12, 2006
Some NPR broadcasts to check out
I am forever net surfing and in my travels I came across some NPR broadcasts that I think might be of interest. One broadcast was an interview conducted by Ed Gordon (former BET commentator) with comedian Nick Adams pertaining to his new book, Making Friends with Black People. The premise for Adams book is simply hilarious...it is essentially a guide for Whites on how to conduct themselves in establishing friendships with people of color. A "How to not put your foot in your mouth" book for the uninitiated. The second NPR interview was a roundtable interview with notable Black author DeWitt Gilmore, whose pen name is Relentless; Malaika Adero, senior editor for Atria Books; and Nick Chiles, editor-in-chief of travel magazine, Odyssey Couleur. The discussion was extremely informative and somewhat confrontational regarding the state of Black literature, specifically as it relates to "urban" literature. But hear for yourselves and enjoy!
