Book Description
“Tell anyone who asks that you’re half-black and half-white, just like David Hasselhoff from Knight Rider.”–Angela’s mother
“Love has no color,” insist Angela Nissel’s parents, but does it have a clue? In this candid, funny, and poignant memoir, Angela recounts growing up biracial in Philadelphia–moving back and forth between black inner-city schools and white prep schools–where her racial ambiguity and doomed attempts to blend in dog her teen years. Once in college, Angela experiments with black activism (hoping to find clarity in extremism), capitalizes on her “exotic” look at a strip club, and ends up with a major case of the blues (aka, a racial identity problem). Yet Angela is never down for the count. After moving to Los Angeles, she discovers that being multiracial is anything but simple, especially in terms of dating and romance.
By turns a comedy of errors and a moving coming-of-age chronicle, Mixed traces one woman’s unforgettable journey to self-acceptance and belonging.
Praise for Mixed
“I love Angela Nissel's writing. Reading Mixed was like getting a letter from a best friend I forgot I had. How ironic that a book written by someone who felt like no one "got" her will surely be one of those rare books everyone gets- black, white, both, neither. Hilarious, sweet, and honest, Mixed is the perfect read if you've ever felt like the one standing on the outside-- and let's face it, who hasn't? - -Jill Soloway, author of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants
“Nissel is humorous, poignant, and proud yet also empathetic and generous as she recounts her constant struggle to answer the perennial question persons of mixed race seem required to ask of themselves in our society–where do I fit in?.... All readers stand to learn from her account.” — Booklist
“Colorful anecdotes, marvelous dialogue and a thoughtful narrative make this memoir a delight.”–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"If David Sedaris was a straight biracial female, this is the book he'd write. This book is so funny I've already started telling people I helped Angela write it." -- Bill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs
"Growing up black and white, I always felt I had the best of both worlds. I feel the same way about Mixed. It's the perfect blend of hilarious comedy and sometimes tragic reality." -- Yvette Lee Bowser, creator of Living Single and executive producer of Half and Half
"Mixed is a hilarious must-read for anyone searching for the enchanting path to self-discovery. Angela Nissel's precise account of living the mixed race experience not only hit home with me, but the journey is deliciously enlightening and heart-rending at the same time. It's a journey well worth taking." --Halle Berry

Don't Worry, Be Happy.......2007-09-18
I loved this book. It was absolutely hilarious! I was cracking up out loud ... on the subway that was particularly embarrassing. Ms. Nissel definitely has a gift. She is able to find the humor in even the most serious of subject matters.
(RAW Rating: 4.5) - .......2007-02-11
Angela Nissel paints a portrait of her life, as she saw it, as a biracial child and young adult with humor, while simultaneously highlighting some tragic events of that life. MIXED: My Life In Black and White is Nissel's journey to the understanding her life.
She opens her memoir with, "Mom, how did you and Dad meet?" This is important to the author because her mother was a former Black Panther in Philadelphia and her father, was a white man originally from northern Pennsylvania. Questioning her existence and always trying to fit into the current situation, Nissel constantly found herself an outsider, whether it was in her numerous neighborhoods, public and private schools or with her father's family Her tenure at the University of Pennsylvania was also marred with feelings of not belonging. As these events unfolded Nissel found herself battling depression. The chapter "Crazy Spa Interlude" provided a comical eye opener into the Mental Health system as Nissel counts down her 72-hour hold with compelling storytelling.
The characters portrayed and the moments revealed are entertaining and filled with clipped dialogue. While the piece begins in this fashion, it quickly spirals into a depressed mode. Wanting to belong and having many questions as to her existence, Angela's mother tried to help her understand that she had worth, however outside forces intervened. MIXED: My Life In Black and White is a very revealing look into one woman's existence growing up biracial in America. It is a captivating read from beginning to end because she writes with unabashed wit and disheartening realism.

Amazing book on race and race relations.......2007-01-18
This author is extremely insightful while remaining hillariously witty through the entire book. For me- this was a page turner. Im also bi-racial and related to many of her anecdotes, challenges, and fears. I learned a lot about myself through reading this one.
Wonderful insight into the minds of us mixed folk........2007-01-18
I am so glad Ms. Nissel wrote this book. Being mixed Black and White myself, I have had similar experiences. So many people fought and cried against our very existence. Shoot, a hundred years of Jim Crow laws went into preventing it.But here we are - mixed and proud - maybe a little difficult to understand - but we're workin' on it. Not all mixed people are alike, but one by one - as we tell our stories, we are beginning to come into ourselves as members of our own group.
Angela does a great job of representing both herself and the rest of us in a responsible, balanced, respectful and humorous way. You will soooo laugh. She has a knack for comedic timing and writing - and boy can she weave a story! Her Broke Diaries book is hilarious as well. Please pick these up when you get a chance. I need to get a couple more copies myself, as all of my family members keep passing them around.
what a disappointment.......2006-10-12
What an awful book and what a letdown after hearing her interview on NPR where Angela Nissel apppeared like a humorous, open and light hearted person, none of which turned out to be true. After liking the first few chapters, it became very clear to me how race obsessed the author really is. There is a loooot more to life than the color of your skin and I found it extremely depressing that she is very biased against white folks. It is clear that she her disappointment about her white father having left her family has turned into irrational and often absurd prejudices against all white people. Her entire outlook on life is through the race lens; the author's generally high level of self absorbtion yields a potent mix that is not far from bigotry and racism.
Keep in mind that I really wanted to like this book, too bad; I hope for Angela to find a white true friend that will open her eyes to the real world.
Book Description
It's just called history, asserts Inga Muscio in her newest book. In fact, the controversial author continues, the so-called history we learn in school is no more than a brand, developed by white men who, often unjustly, won the right to spin their stories as hard facts. With Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil, it's Muscio's turn and she's taking it in order to hip the masses to the truth about the American history they think they know. Whose country is it? Has democracy ever really existed? Why does our culture celebrate certain figures and ignore others? Do schools teach kids to perpetuate white supremacist ideologies? Muscio delves deep to answer these questions, marveling at how personal history is to everyone, while challenging people to expand their thinking on America's past and encouraging them to consider how their own histories might read.

At Times Difficult To Read But An Essential Viewpoint.......2006-11-13
This book was at times difficult to read as any book indictive of both American Domestic and Foriegn policy. History is not a pretty and noble rehash of heroic figures and landmark events. It is ugly and brutal, and the people who are called heroes are usually either not as heroic as we make them out to be or total villians. And the truth is something that we tend to overlook in favor of a continued fantasy. I found the most of the reviews to this book are reactionary and defensive. America isn't good to every American, you go into any military hospital, any street corner and see that. Inga isn't the first white author to voice her opinions and facts about American hedgemony and operational racism. Anybody read Derrick Jensen's The Culture of Make Believe? Anybody read any books by Howard Zinn, Noam Chomsky? People don't read enough and what we do read mostly is crap that further advances our misconceptions about what's really going on. And "Amerikkka" term has been in use for years so it's not so "scandalous" It was actually the title of bad 70's movie. But of course if you don't know something you speculate or go with emotion. Whether you agree with Inga or not, you have to read and at least be aware of a different point of view. And don't believe everything you hear, see, or even read. Another point that Inga makes. She doesn't care if you believe her or not, or accept some of the truths she points out. Yes there is still police brutality, Yes our government and system is geared towards people with lots of money and the "right" racial background. Yes there is rampant homophobia, Yes Black and Latino men are heavily discriminated against and it's systematic. By acknowledging these very real problems we can all work towards resolving them. But what I see mostly, (the past reviews) are people burying their heads in the sand and saying everything is all right when it isn't. For certain people this is easy to do, for myself and other minorities, we do not have this luxury.
I think she just makes some stuff up..........2006-10-23
I liked this book for the most part. She can be a tad dramatic at times (talking to the ocean, etc.) and I think she thinks she's being mindblowingly scandalous by calling America "Amerikka," but for the most part it was good. Except for one thing: I think she just makes some stuff up. Go on any comprehensive search engine you can find and see if you find any results about the pregnant Puerto Rican police officer who rescued people from Ground Zero. Email Inga and ask her about the pregnant Puerto Rican police officer who rescued people from Ground Zero. Nothing. I'm pretty sure she just made that up. Which is pretty corny.
Also, Ice Cube put out a CD 16 years ago titled Amerikkka's Most Wanted. In one of the songs he contemplates kicking a girl who's seven months pregnant in the stomach. Why? So he won't have to pay child support. I feel that anyone who consistently calls America "Amerikkka" can't be all that logical or bright.
The Unbearable Whiteness of Being.......2006-10-12
It is time for white people (and particularly someone who lives in Portland, Oregon, American's whitest large city) to get over this ridiculously juvenile infatuation for self-loathing, guilt, and self-hatred (the unbearable whiteness of being). No intelligent person who actually knows about the real history of the U.S. denies that America IS, to be sure, a racist and imperialist society, but writing 500 + pages that make the same claim (history is told from the standpoint of the victors; we've all been brainwashed by the history taught in schools) over and over again is not going to improve or promote racial understanding. Furthermore, any intelligent person knows that prior to Columbus's 'discovery' indigenous people did not live in 'complete harmony' so people who quote Chomsky, Zinn, et al. endlessly are just as brainwashed as people who do not read revisionist history. It is time to focus on the many positive accomplishments minorities have made and all the progress that has come (and still needs to come). Finally, anyone who spells America 'Amerikkka' does not deserve to have her work taken seriously. Enough said.
CRITICAL THINKING 101!.......2006-08-03
If one is about the business of seeking justice and correctness in life, particularly in america, then this author's book is worth the price and time to read. The author puts regurgitates and puts forth images and currently presented societal evidence of what can be considered world history by europeanized standards. While there is the current trend to put forth the alternative view of this amalgam called american history and all the people's contribution, the question of personal responsibility, solutions to the mess that was created and next steps has been missing. This author does a competent job in letting the reader do the critical thinking necessary to further prove and or dispute what is known about who's who and what's what in regards to history. Be prepared to deal with some unhealed wounds.
Outstanding work, research, passion, power!!!!.......2006-05-20
Inga Muscio takes our imperalist, racist, sexist, ecocidal and genocidal culture to task once again in her latest book. Heartfelt, passionate, right-on and meticulously researched, Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil focuses intently upon white supremacist culture and its devastating, malignant repercussions. It is a must-have for folks trying to get a firm grasp on what's wrong with our civilization. Muscio has a gift for being so very real and honest in her work, and her amazing personality shines through in this book, giving the reader an intimate portrait of the author's struggle and pain in the face of such enormously mind-numbing and heart-ripping history. I have nothing but admiration for Muscio and nothing but praise for this latest work of hers.
Book Description
Hermann “The Herminator” Maier, born in 1972, rose from humble beginnings as a scrawny mason to the heights of sports stardom, skiing to four world championship titles and two gold medals, in super-G and giant slalom. All that changed in 2001, when a motorcycle accident threatened to end not only his career but his life. True to his reputation, Maier fought his way back to the slopes and further victories. This compelling autobiography tells a riveting story of flirting with death and dodging it through sheer willpower, of painful recoveries and worldwide triumphs. The dramatic text and many color and black-and-white photographs cover Maier’s highs and lows, including his appearance at the 1998 Olympic Games at Nagano, where he stunned millions in what has become the most notorious downhill crash of all time. This book profiles a man who is a superstar in every sense.
Customer Reviews:
A little disappointed.......2006-09-07
This book gave me insight into the competitive world of ski racing and I found it very informative. Maier's comeback from his horrible accident is indeed inspiring, but I found the book way too long and detailed to keep my interest from waning. I finished it, but it was tedious. A good editor and a little more flair could have made this a great book.
Amazing Comeback .......2006-08-16
Herman's book can be subtitled "Don't count me down and out just yet...." And this is the recurring theme throughout.
Perhaps it's the translation into English, but the Herminator comes across as not only a great athlete, but a little too self-centered! It's as everything revolves around his being and return to winning, no make that crushing his competitors and not just the race hill. You can almost "see and hear" the snorting, growling, grimacing in the start gate as you read this book - yet you don't really get a true feeling of what all this means to him other than competition, endorsements, and being the all conquering focus for the Austrians - not even his team mates. But somewhat like Bode Miller, Maier came from "outside" the alpine racing mainstream and perhaps that's why he appears to remain somewhat outside the norm.
I read Bode's book at the same time and in the end, you sure know which guy you want to sit and have a beer with or ski a run with.
Inspiring.......2006-03-22
I have always been a fan of Hermann Maier - not many have the ability to bounce back like he can. I bought the book for my son who is just learning to ski and he really enjoyed the biography. It is a good against all odds story and I would encourage anyone looking for a gift for an aspiring skier to send them a copy.
We have learned that Hermann has a talent for skiing but the guy can write too. The book also teaches good sportsmanship and I want my son to grow up respecting his team mates and have a good attitude. Being a good sport is not just about big sponsors.
We really enjoyed watching him ski and win medals at the Olympics!! And we really enjoyed his book!
Skiingwith the best of the best!.......2006-03-22
I thought that Hermann Maier wrote a very candid and authentic book about his victories and struggles in the world of expert skiing...a help to the layman and an inspiration to the professionals about not giving up and how to reach for those goals/dreams!
This book is a realistic perspective of a true hero and athlete and it's a great read for young and old!
I enjoyed it very much and I applaud Hermann for his perspective on life and on skiing.
Technocratic.......2006-03-20
As a friend of Bill Johnson and a longtime racer and race fan, I looked forward to the book, but after 100 pages it was clear the technocratic writing style would not bring Maier's compelling recovery to much life. On the facts alone one feels deeply for Maier personally and respects his incredible rehab, but oft cited medical reports,training charts and plans, and media strategy do little to tell us how Maier personally coped with his losses and regained his form. Clearly Maier has great courage, on and off snow, but the book reduces him largely to a re-engineered man and athlete, rather than someone facing human and career death who by family,will,passion,faith and science recovers. That story is there, but barely. To be fair, the book seemed to be a function of Maier's stoicism, which is clear throughout the book. I think there is more to Maier than he was willing to tell.

Book Description
No Color Is My Kind is an uncommon chronicle of identity, fate, and compassion as two men--one Jewish and one African American--set out to rediscover a life lost to manic depression and alcoholism. In 1984, Thomas Cole discovered Eldrewey Stearns in a Galveston psychiatric hospital. Stearns, a fifty-two-year-old black man, complained that although he felt very important, no one understood him. Over the course of the next decade, Cole and Stearns, in a tumultuous and often painful collaboration, recovered Stearns' life before his slide into madness--as a young boy in Galveston and San Augustine and as a civil rights leader and lawyer who sparked Houston's desegregation movement between 1959 and 1963. While other southern cities rocked with violence, Houston integrated its public accommodations peacefully. In these pages appear figures such as Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King, Jr., Leon Jaworski, and Dan Rather, all of whom--along with Stearns--maneuvered and conspired to integrate the city quickly and calmly. Weaving the tragic story of a charismatic and deeply troubled leader into the record of a major historic event, Cole also explores his emotionally charged collaboration with Stearns. Their poignant relationship sheds powerful and healing light on contemporary race relations in America, and especially on issues of power, authority, and mental illness.

More than just History.......2003-02-09
In a sense this is two books. While it starts with a discussion of how the author, a medical ethicist, was drawn to write this book about Eldrewey Stearns, the first 100 pages primarily tells the story of integration in Houston, Texas in the late 50s and 60s. It's a compelling and interesting story, but it is more compellingly told by the video that was made simultaneously with this book. That video, The Strange Demise of Jim Crow: How Houston Desegregated Its Public Accomodations, 1959-1963 is available from University of Texas Press (I can't find it on Amazon). The video includes interviews with many of the prominent actors in this drama and is always a favorite when I use it in my Introduction to US and Texas Politics class.
The second 100 pages of the book is about Eldrewey Stearns' life before and after the movement. Stearns was one of the leaders of the civil rights movement in Houston, but he is also someone who has struggled with mental illness all his life. This book provides a fascinating insight into the struggles the author goes through in trying to help Eldrewey and to understand this complex, flawed, yet sometimes heroic man. He also comes to considerable insight about himself through the process of trying to chronicle Eldrewey's story.
An excellent read, whether you are interested in the history of the movement or in getting an understanding of how it is to deal with mental illness.
Fascinating book about Houston, integration, and two men.......2002-03-28
In the 1990s I spent two years traveling in Europe. One day in a Hungarian history museum I hit the wall: Here I was reading all about the Magyars, but I knew little about my own hometown--Houston, Texas--except whatever I'd been forced to memorize eons ago in grade school. Unfortunately, once I got back to Texas I found many of the local history books unbearable: "In 1832, Lamar So-and-So reined in his trusty steed at the banks of Buffalo Bayou." I gave up my getting-to-know-Houston project until recently, when I stumbled upon No Color is My Kind: The Life of Eldrewey Stearns and the Integration of Houston. This is easily the best book I've ever read about Houston history. Thomas Cole personalizes the story, makes himself visible as a person confronting his own ideals, frustrations, and personal myths. His subject, Eldrewey Stearns, is obviously no easy man to pin down. Stearns has troubles, and I'm afraid he suffers more than most people. However, the fact that the writer refused--or was unable--to paint Stearns as a perfectly noble (and flat) hero is, in my opinion, exactly why Stearns is such a moving figure and why this work is so much richer than the Daughters of the American Revolution (or worse, Daughters of the Confederacy) tributes that so many other books about Houston and Houstonians seem to be. Stearns is real, and Cole's depiction of him and his part in Houston's integration movement deepened my appreciation for African-Americans' struggles and their courageous stands.
Book Description
Traveling mainly by motorcycle, the author traverses 45 countries on six continents in this memoir, experiencing both fascinating and harrowing travails during a one-year journey. With a healthy mix of contemporary and historical perspectives, new insights are provided on typical tourist destinations like the Taj Mahal and the Trevi Fountain. Additionally, encounters with a law enforcement official in the Czech Republic and a panty-wielding pickpocket in Istanbul (among other things) supply plenty of humor along the way. These vivid and engaging accounts showcase the destinations not just as tourists see them, but as residents experience them as well, realistically portraying floods, earthquakes, and civil unrest.

A Worthy Addition to Any Library/Literary Collection.......2006-07-25
This book literally fell into my hands, and I'm glad it did. The pages contain everything: adventure, vivid description, and a historical context combined with poignant humor that left me lusting for travel. What more could one ask? The humor is so good I had to read the author's next book: Roadmap to Stardom. I have a handful of friends trying to infiltrate the movie business and they will read it or I will kill them.
A Great Book.......2005-09-23
loved it, the best travel book I have found, yet. I read about 8 of them ,and this one was more honest, intelligent, funny and to the point then all the others. I go back to reading parts of this book all the time. I would give it 6 stars if I could. Buy it!
I loved this book!.......2005-03-02
I loved this book. This book routinely invoked in me prolonged, swept-away-with-mirth, out-loud laughter. This book made me laugh so long and loud that more than once when my husband and I were curled up in bed at night with our respective volumes, he suggested that I go find another part of the house in which to read.
The book chronicles a year spent traveling around the world, often but not always on a motorcycle. The author, Rif Haffar, and his girlfriend, to whom he aptly refers as Tracy the Lionhearted, undertook this adventure on fairly short notice after a corporate reorg left Haffar with time on his hands. The semi-spontaneous nature of the trip's inception remains a thematic element in the story that unfolds: these are people who are brave enough and joyous enough to seize opportunities and absorb experiences as they present themselves, to not be rigidly dependent on schedules or itineraries, to navigate the many frustrations and pleasures of travel with ongoing good humor. This book is not (nor does it purport to be) a definitive travel guide to any of the many places visited (though there are plenty of historical and cultural factoids to keep things interesting). It does not pretend to be a manual on riding or maintaining a motorcycle. Nor is it, by any stretch of the imagination, a book about how to travel on a tight budget. Haffar obviously has the means to travel comfortably, and part of the beauty of the book for me was the fact that he was unabashed about alternating sleeping in tents, in campers, in huts with staying in the occasional four-star hotel. It is this aspect of the book that I imagine will or does appeal to a segment of the traveling population that is slightly older and slightly more affluent, yet retains the thirst for newness and adventure they began to satisfy way back when Europe still could be done for $5 a day.
Haffar has so many stories to tell here, and they are all told with an intelligence and an incisive wit that surprises and delights. At the same time, he does not pull punches when he runs into circumstances that he finds frustrating, ridiculous, or unpleasant, and refreshingly does not adopt the banal and vaguely disingenuous tone of guidebooks whose charter it is to be polite. Thus, although his humor can at times seem a little sharp, it is so clearly and fortunately co-mingled with a fundamental attitude of respect and compassion that it rarely, if ever, truly stings. He describes doing things that I will never, ever, ever do: bungee jumping for one, swimming with sharks for another, and also describes a whole host of things that any of would count ourselves fortunate to experience. This book rekindled my never-very-dormant travel lust, and the unrealistic notion that on my next big travel adventure I will take Haffar along to keep me in stitches.

Utterly wretched.......2004-05-26
Whether you're a motorcyclist or not, stay far away from this awful book. This guy is not a rider -- he takes a leisurely luxury tour aboard an ST1100 from Lisbon to Istanbul and that's it. The bike is shipped from Istanbul to Bombay. Haffar didn't even know what a carnet is! So his bike -- which any rider guards with his or her life -- gets stuck in Bombay, and he evidently lacks the wherewithal and ingenuity to extract it.
Travels thru the Middle East, Asia, Oceania, South America, Central America, and the U.S. are accomplished via public transit, plane, and rental cars. Yawwwwn.
Worse still, this book is worst variety of insipid amateur travelogue -- unless you like tedious crybaby complaints about bad tea, inadequate restrooms, and tepid showers. Ugh! Don't look here for insights into culture, or conversations with locals. Haffar is too busy looking for his next cup of tea, about which he is bound to offer some banal observation.
The little good that can be said of the regrettable work is that Haffar will occasionally spin a pleasant phrase. Other than that, this self-absorbed loser of a book annoyed the bejeepers out of me. Grade: F.
Great find, great read!.......2004-01-11
I've read many travelogs but none quite like this one. Most of the time I was amused and amazed by Haffar's witty and informative account. Occasionally, I was mildly shocked by the graphic and perhaps too honest descriptions of certain places and people. Great read!
