SUMMARY

A WHITE FACE PAINTED BROWN is the true story of a young White girl who grows up in a Los Angeles ghetto - isolated from her own race. Surrounded by a Black & Mexican world she learns to penetrate racial boundaries & develop friendships that would last throughout her childhood. However, as their innocence is prematurely lost by the brutal reality they must face each day - one by one they began to die emotionally & sometimes physically. It is a haunting story that dares to examine the naked truth about ghettos...the teachers that fail to teach...the doctors that send children home to die...the social workers that fail to protect children...the policemen who treat ghetto people without the dignity or respect all people deserve. It is an educational tool because the book has the power to change the negative collective perception of ghetto children in this nation. It also has the power to help ghetto children learn to see the tremendous strength & courage they are forced to develop in order to survive. In learning to see this, ghetto children can begin to develop the tools within themselves to escape the ghetto. To order contact: Pallas Athena Press, P.O.
