Lise Funderburg

A beautiful book recounting the journey of the original Broadway production; and the libretto.

A collection of personal ruminations by 46 mixed-race Americans about what it was like growing up mixed-race in America, and what it is like for them now as adults, and how their search for identity has affected their lives and their children's lives.

Another trip into the endlessly bizarre world of "race."

Lise Funderburg is herself biracial, and she has gone around the country interviewing similar people. They discuss how their families handle the matter, how their particular appearance affects how people deal with them, how they see themselves. It is altogether a fascinating and enlightening book.
