Brown: The Last Discovery of America by Richard Rodriguez
4.0
Although I personally don't agree with Rodriguez's politics (really? how can you be a conservative Mexican American who doesn't believe in affirmative action even after benefiting hugely from it??) and don't even love his writing style (too digressive, stream-of-consciousness), his ideas and musings are really interesting and every time I read and teach this book, there is more to plumb.
To talk and teach about race, ethnicity and the weird place that it occupies in America, you need this book.
