DESCRIPTION<br />
(Description from publisher -<br />
truncated for length)<br />
Being a black woman in America means<br />
contending with old prejudices and<br />
fresh absurdities every day. Comedian<br />
Phoebe Robinson has experienced her<br />
fair share over the years: she’s been unceremoniously<br />
relegated to the role of<br />
“the black friend,” as if she is somehow<br />
the authority on all things racial; she’s<br />
been questioned about her love of U2<br />
and Billy Joel (“isn’t that . . . white people<br />
music?”); she’s been called “uppity”<br />
for having an opinion in the workplace;<br />
she’s been followed around stores by<br />
security guards; and yes, people do ask<br />
her whether they can<br />
touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she’s<br />
ready to take these topics to the page—<br />
and she’s going to make you laugh as<br />
she’s doing it.<br />
