How To Be Black, A Satirical Guide From Comedian Baratunde Thurston

Digital director of The Onion and comedian Baratunde Thurston has authored How To Be Black, a "humorous, intelligent, and audacious guide that challenges and satirizes the so-called experts, purists, and racists who purport to speak for all black people". Baratunde was recently interviewed by Terry Gross on NPR Fresh Air and then featured on NPR Books where he says, "I hope to expose you to another side of the black experience while offering practical, comedic advice based on my own painful lessons learned."

Thurston is also currently touring the world and making appearances to promote How To Be Black. He will be presenting How to Read the World, the opening keynote address at SXSW Interactive 2012 on March 10, 2012 at 2 PM.
