A smart and stylish account of the bigotry lurking in hearts and institutions alike.
Federico and Lorenço are brothers. Their father is black, their mother is white. Federico - distant, angry, analytical - has light skin, which means he's always been able to avoid the worst of the racism that Brazilian culture has to offer. Lorenço, on the other hand, is dark-skinned, easy-going - and has become a father himself. when a dark secret from their past threatens to topple everything they've accomplished, the brothers are forced to move beyond their comfortable assumptions and confront the injustices that have both unified and separated them all their lives. - Book cover.
