Band Aid - One Hundred Stories of Race in the Life of One African-American

In this powerful book, Steven Harris walks readers through how the lived experiences of being African-American have played out in his own life. Through these one hundred stories, we see the ways that racism manifests both on a personal level and systemically. The unique and compelling two-column format allows the reader to experience each story both from a neutral viewpoint, and with the same emotional impact that it had on the author. Band Aid is Harris's attempt to give the reader an understanding of the cumulative toll that racism has on those whom repeatedly experience it.Band Aid takes its readers through an original and personal journey of racism, and offers a framework for addressing racial inequity in the systems of our society.
