PLEASE READ THIS BOOK

May 11, 2000

Format: Paperback

Funny, witty, honest, philosphical, deep, critical, and daring are some words that descibe "How to make love to a Negro". A friend recommended it to me and I loved it. Basically the book is about two poor Black male Haitian immigrants living in Canada, sleeping with upperclass white women. The investigates the role of race, and class plays in sex. If you throw Black anger and White guilt in a bed, the result is a nueclear explosion, according to the author. If anyone wants to know how some black feel about sleeping with white women, you need to read this book. It's like social psychology mixed with a lot of humor, it's very funny and honest. The two black men are very intelligent and well read,and the main character most likely based on the author is very critical about the judeo-christian "civilized" society he so much wants to enter. I encourage men and women of all races, black, white in particular to read this book. Say what you want about it, but believe me, there are some black men that share the same thoughts as the author. I'd love to hear what a white man has to say after reading this book.

Don't take it seriously!

April 19, 2000

Format: Paperback

The first thing I have to tell you is that I read the book in its original version (French)and I found it hilariously funny. I think that all Danny Laferrière wanted by telling us the everyday life of Buba and the unnamed character, which is more likely to be him, is to make people react. He is attacking feminism by quoting, with is personal touch, Simonne de Beauvoir. He is laughing at white people by telling that they don't know how to make love to white women. He is poking fun at Negroes, etc. You must read this book the same as the author wrote it, just have fun and accept to laugh at yourself and at our society. One last thing, if you have some African-American friends you will finally understand some of their behaviours!
