For any person from any background who holds, or has been subjected to, a skewed view of "race," this easy to read book simplifies the basic elements used to categorize people with the hope that understanding will allow us to work together more harmoniously. Volume 1, The Black Box, dives into the themes surrounding individuals of one particular background, while future volumes will examine the themes present in other cultures. Though differentiation is a concept used in the series, the prevailing message is that we are all ONE mankind with more similarities than differences. Hopefully, these works provoke thought and conversation to strengthen the ties that bind us.
