ebooks The Popes Against the Jews: The Vatican's Role in the Rise of Modern Anti-Semitism by David I. Kertzer in History

Description

As recalled in Honky; Dalton Conley’s childhood has all of the classic elements of growing up in America. But the fact that he was one of the few white boys in a mostly black and Puerto Rican neighborhood on Manhattan’s Lower East Side makes Dalton’s childhood unique.At the age of three; he couldn’t understand why the infant daughter of the black separatists next door couldn’t be his sister; so he kidnapped her. By the time he was a teenager; he realized that not even a parent’s devotion could protect his best friend from a stray bullet. Years after the privilege of being white and middle class allowed Conley to leave the projects; his entertaining memoir allows us to see how race and class impact us all. Perfectly pitched and daringly original; Honky is that rare book that entertains even as it informs.
