Book Reviews of How to Rent a Negro
Book Review: 3 Cheers for How To Rent a Negro!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely loved "How to..." As a certified Professional Black Person with over 30 years experience in the field I found myself in stitches reading this book. Having natural hair and diminutive features, I too have experienced people wanting to touch my hair, suggesting I must be "mixed with something because you don't look Black," or that I sound "white" and am surprisingly articulate. I found the way Ms. (Mrs.?) Ayo broke down the Invoice is a gem! I'm already calculating how many people I should be sending past due invoices to! :-) The only thing I wish she'd touched on a bit more was the issue of Black sexuality and and the stereotypical view of Black male size and Black female drive. I'm hoping there is another book already in the works... I've already called at least 5 of my friends and my parents and am recommending this book to all of my website visitors and personal friends as well.
