Long before buzzwords such as multicultural and biracial arrived on the scene, the "One-Drop Rule" determined who was black, colored, or Negro in America.
Mike Enrico spent the first 23 years of his life as the only non-white resident of Hobart, Indiana. While most of his peers took their ethnicity for granted, Mike had to come up with explanations for his appearance, why he was adopted, as well as answers to the often asked question: "What are you?"
In Face It, You're Black!, Mike shares his poignant, yet often amusing recollections on family, race, no sex, and rock & roll. His fast-paced memoir will appeal not only to baby boomers but to anyone struggling to blend into a color-obsessed society. Mike's second non-fiction book, Enter the Anti, has just been published.
Mike lives in New York City with his wife Pamela and their pet turtle, Benito.
