We will read and discuss the title book by Shannon Gibney, who grew up in Ann Arbor. "...Gibney explores the myth of colorblindness in the context of transracial adoption in a story about Alex(andra), a biracial teen who was adopted by white parents as a very young child" (Reading While White). It "is receiving an unusual amount of attention...proving to be instructive" (Minnesota Book Awards). The study group leader has led book discussions and taught science courses. Please read through Chapter 8 (p. 34) for the first class. Instructor: Dick Chase. This class for adults over 50 meets Wednesdays through October 26th. No class on October 12.
