Lawrence Hill begins this book with personal stories about how his black father and white mother met and married, and what it was like for him growing up in an otherwise entirely white Toronto suburb. But Hill also looks beyond the personal, sharing his coast-to-coast interviews with Canadians of black and white parentage, delving into provocative and fascinating subjects. Courageous, sensitive and often humorous, Black Berry, Sweet Juice will enrich the way Canadians discuss matters of race and racial identity.
