THE BOOK KEEPER: A MEMOIR OF RACE, LOVE, AND LEGACY
Book ID/图书代码： 09894520C00002
English Summary/英文概要： When interracial romance novels written by her long-dead father landed on Julia McKenzie Munemo’s kitchen table, she—a white woman—had been married to a black man for six years and their first son was a toddler. Out of shame about her father’s secret career as a writer of “slavery porn,” she hid the books from herself, and from her growing mixed-race family, for more than a decade. But then, with police shootings of African American men more and more in the public eye, she realized that understanding her own legacy was the only way to begin to understand her country.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在这部关于爱情故事，调查和种族清算的回忆录中，作者Munemo阐明并对自己的肤色，一个令人震惊的秘密和她家族的历史，进行了质询。当她去世已久的父亲撰写的跨种族的浪漫爱情小说，搁在茱莉娅麦肯齐蒙莫(Julia McKenzie Munemo)案桌上时，她，是一个已与黑人男子成婚六年的白人女子，还是他们刚蹒跚学步的第一个儿子的母亲。出于对父亲作为“奴隶色情文学”作品的一个秘密身份感到羞愧，她把这些书藏匿了十几年，既不让自己看的，也不让自己的正在成长的混血家人看到。但后来，随着警察枪杀非裔美国人的事件越来越多地出现在公众视野中，她意识到只有了解自己的遗留问题，才是了解她所在的这个国家的问题根源的唯一途径。(Sandy)
