Black Like Me

Reader reviewed by Jamie

I had a really hard time reading this book it wasn't really becasue it was hard but because I thought it was boring it could be because I had to read it for school or because I just don't like this type of books. But it did get better towards the end. I did think that it was really cool that a white person would go through all that to just see how it was for someone differnt from him to live.

Black Like Me is a non fiction book that documents that racisim of whites in the south in the 60's. The author had his skin changed to a very dark black and went to the south to experience the life of african american. By the end of his research he was changing back and forth from black to white no a weekly basic just to see the difference in peoples reaction towards him.

The book is very interesting and really shows you how bad it actually was in the south. I thought the book was a little to factually and kinda slow but It was still very intersting.
