Summary:
"The Weight of Whiteness is a memoir, in poetry form, of the author's awareness of her 'whiteness' during the integration of Boston's public schools in the 1950s and during visits with her family members living in the segregated South. Deeply personal, the poems examine the author's thoughts and feelings as family and others react to her interracial marriage in 1966, the year before the United States Supreme Court overturned as unconstitutional sixteen states' laws prohibiting miscegenation."--Back cover.
