Black is the body : stories from my grandmother's time, my mother's time, and mine / Emily Bernard. by Bernard, Emily, 1967- Vintage Books, a division of Penguin Random House LLC, 2019.

ISBN:  9781101972410 (pbk) Edition:  1st Vintage Books ed. Description:  xiii, 217 p., 6 unnumbered p. ; 21 cm. Summary:  "In these twelve deeply personal, connected essays, Bernard details the experience of growing up black in the south with a family name inherited from a white man, surviving a random stabbing at a New Haven coffee shop while taking graduate studies at Yale, marrying a white man from the north and bring him home to her family, adopting two babies from Ethiopia, and living and teaching in a primarily white New England college town. Each of these essays goes beyond a narrative of black innocence and white guilt and sets out to discover a new way of telling the truth as the author has lived it."--Publisher.
