Preparing for toddler adoption-books on race

I'm Chocolate, You're Vanilla by Marguerite Wright (This is by far the best book I have read on racial identity. The writer is a black psychologist and seemed very practical and full of common sense. She finds so much middle ground on race. She doesn't believe in the "just be color blind" mentality nor does she believe that transracial adoption is just another form of white oppression.)

Black Baby, White Hands by Jaiya John (Not a favorite of mine by any means. It is the story of one of the first interacial adoptions in the US. The writer is the adopted child. I personally thought the writer came across as a victim who continually dwelt on how he had been done a disservice by his family, community, etc.. But it is worth the read because it shows a perspective that I had not considered.)

Black Like Me by John Howard Griffin (The true story of a white man who transforms his skin to black and then travels into the South during the 1960's. As someone who grew up in the 1980's with a family who was essentially free of prejudice, this gave me real insight into how deep seeded prejudice could be. I always have felt like Black culture has hung onto the past and just needs to move on. But this book helped me to appreciate how moving on would be difficult. It also helped me to see how far we have come.)
