Reviews
The last few chapters are the best
2By HastaManzanaFull disclosure: I'm a black woman who dates interracially and was curious about this book, so I spent 3 hrs reading it from cover to cover. I would've liked to give it a better rating, but it's a very poorly written (or poorly edited) book. The idea is great, to give white men who have never dated a black woman a guide about how to do it. But there are many problems with the content. Off the top of my head, I'll give five: 1) the author gives a lot of information that sounds statistical but cites no sources; 2) there are an extremely high number of grammatical and typographic errors; 3) there are many repetitions of many phrases and clichés; 4) the author misuses the literary symbol of the scarlet letter (an imposed sign meant to publicly shame the victim) in his parallel with public interracial dating; and 5) the author appears to have an ax or two to grind between Chapters 2-6; the tone of those chapters leaves the realm of professional/sociological advice to just plain insults, including name-calling. For me, the last few chapters are the most helpful and the best written. Although I believe his book is filled with generalizations that he did not excuse by prefacing them all with some black women or some black men (there are quite a few statements that simply begin "black women think.."), and he left a few types of white men and black women out, I think it's the only book of it's kind, is necessary, and fills a void. Perhaps his 3rd edition should be published by a company with better editors. I suggest he add to his book a chapter about those who live in small rural towns, both black and white, whose social class and education makes it difficult to find an eligible equal, to help the white men and black women find each other.
