About this book
The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother is a 1995 memoir by James McBride. He alternates between his own recollections of growing up in a large family in New York and the story of his mother, Ruth, who was born in Poland, grew up in the American South and married a Black man.
Ruth had raised twelve children, and she rarely spoke about her past. McBride's attempt to find out who she was and where she came from makes this a book about race, identity, religion and family.
