«El color del agua» is James McBride's autobiographical account, published by Planeta in hardcover (296 pages, in Spanish).
James McBride recalls his childhood and youth in a large mixed-race family in New York, raised by his white mother, Ruth, who brought up her twelve black children. The book interweaves these memoirs with Ruth's life and addresses racial identity, religion, poverty and education; hence its title: God has the color of water.
Originally published in 1996 as «The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother», it won the Anisfield-Wolf Book Award in 1997. Translation by Josefina Guerrero.
For readers of memoirs and narrative nonfiction interested in racial identity, family life and American society.
James McBride is an American writer and musician. He is the recipient of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction for his novel The Good Lord Bird.
