Book Review - Mixed - My Life in Black and White


In her memoir "Mixed: My Life in Black and White" (2006), Angela Nissel writes of the struggles she faces while growing up biracial. Nissel's name may be familiar to fans of the NBC comedy series "Scrubs." She has been a staff writer for the show for four years and is now consulting producer. As a starving artist (a.k.a. freelance writer), Nissel sold some goods on eBay for extra cash. The winning bidder for one of those items was a television executive who had read her first book "The Broke Diaries" (2001), which was about her days as a broke college student.

Multiculturalism Blinds Historians:

The importance of our relationship with Mexico makes it vital that historians and policy makers learn to address the history Montoya covers from a culturist perspective.

Indulge in Multicultural Works of the American Indians:
The merging of the American Indians and the white race which incorporated their lands was not always a simply process, indeed many lives were lost on both sides until things settled down.
