UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH A BLACK MAN

Narrated by the author, this audio program feels like an evening with a good friend who doesn't shy away from awkward questions. Emanuel Acho, a former NFL player and current Fox Sports analyst, brings a fresh perspective to such questions as: "Why can't I use the N-word?" and "Can white privilege be alleviated?" His comments, which include history, real-life examples, and wry humor, ensure that listeners feel challenged and supported. Referencing authors such as Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo, Acho brings a fresh voice to complex topics. A personal interview with his editor, great production standards, and his personality make this an accessible listen. Listeners may become uncomfortable but will want to keep listening. C.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award, 2022 Audies Finalist © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2022]
