All the Colors of the Race

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2000

I enjoyed reading All the Colors of the Race by Arnold Adoff. (Illustrated by John Steptoe.) It was interesting how Adoff writes from the perspective of a girl. With such strong sentiments, I couldn't help but wonder if there is any relation to his own life or that of someone he knows. I have read other poetry books by Adoff, and this was one of my favorites. In "I am making a circle for my self," I enjoyed the references to Golda Meir and Moses. In "The way I see any hope for later," Adoff powerfully addresses issues of race and gender, saying that we need to "stop looking" and "start loving." What a powerful poem! Even the layout of the words adds to the effect. "Remember:" makes an interesting reference to the fact that way back when there was only one race--a fact that makes one wonder how we ever became so divided.
