February 18, 2012 Baratunde Thurston

Thurston is at his best when chronicling his experiences as the child of a single mother in Washington, D.C., whose father died during a drug deal, and his subsequent adventures as a young nerd at the prestigious Sidwell Friends School and later Harvard. These chapters serve to underscore Thurston’s authority on blackness. He has, after all, been to Africa. His name is kind of African, too.
