About the book

At a time when race relations continue to divide people more than they provide a road map to genuine equality, Geni Guimaraes s Color of Tenderness continues to be relevant over 20 years after its original publication in Brazil. Though issues of marginalisation and invisibility are explored in the book, Guimaraes may not have set out to be ideological, as most of the instances of racial tension and portrayed in her work are subtle, anecdotal and reconciliatory rather than indicting. A masterpiece of world literature, Color of Tenderness won the Premio Jabuti in 1990.
