In my TBR stack is "The History of White People." I bought this after hearing the author on a call-in talk show on NPR. It is, from what I could tell, a book about the whole notion of slavery throughout history (not just black slavery in America) and it was written by Nell Painter, a black woman. I was fascinated just from the few minutes I was able to catch of her interview, and am looking forward to the book. Hopefully I won't be disappointed (I don't have a great track record with books I've discovered through NPR).
If any of you have read it, please let me know what you thought. It will probably be a few months before I get to it.
