Book Description
“Don’t play in the sun. You’re going to have to get a light-skinned husband for the sake of your children as it is.”
In these words from her mother, novelist and memoirist Marita Golden learned as a girl that she was the wrong color. Her mother had absorbed “colorism” without thinking about it. But, as Golden shows in this provocative book, biases based on skin color persist–and so do their long-lasting repercussions.
Golden recalls deciding against a distinguished black university because she didn’t want to worry about whether she was light enough to be homecoming queen. A male friend bitterly remembers that he was teased about his girlfriend because she was too dark for him. Even now, when she attends a party full of accomplished black men and their wives, Golden wonders why those wives are all nearly white. From Halle Berry to Michael Jackson, from Nigeria to Cuba, from what she sees in the mirror to what she notices about the Grammys, Golden exposes the many facets of "colorism" and their effect on American culture. Part memoir, part cultural history, and part analysis,
Don't Play in the Sun also dramatizes one accomplished black woman's inner journey from self-loathing to self-acceptance and pride.

A Great Read.......2007-09-21
This book was a great read. Golden writes with a voice of wisdom. At times, it felt as if I was reading one of Maya Angelou's writings. Golden writes with such honesty that for some it could seem offensive. Only when we admit something is there do we heal. And because we admit it is there, it does not mean we are a victim of it. When we rise above it, we can talk about it and not feel bad about it. The color complex is something that happens in many cultures, not only in African-Americans. It was great for her to write such a book. Two thumbs up!
Don't Play In The Sun.......2007-05-22
As I read Golden's book, I tried to remember whether my grandmother ever told me not to play in the sun or told me to marry a man who wasn't dark or find man with good hair. Try as I might, I can't remember if these things were ever said to me and if they were said, whether they had any affect on me. Golden's book made me think about these things, but after finishing the book, I was ready to move on to something else. The book tended to be quite heavy in chapters, like Golden was carrying the weight of having this darker complexion on her shoulders. I understood her pain somewhat and I wonder if she will ever really be able embrace the fact that she was blessed with dark skin. Nice change of pace from the usual fluff that I read.
The Psychological effects of Jim crow and slavery.......2007-02-07
This book is a sad, but real example of the psychological effects that Jim Crow, slavery, and colonialism had on Black people.
Marita Golden tells of the difficulties she had as a dark-skinned black girl in color-conscious Washington DC in the 1950s and the failure of the Black Power movement of the sixties to effectively destroy colorism in Black America in particular.
She also adds some telling commentary, as a world traveler, as to how darker people in the rest of the world still use dangerous bleaching creams to improve their low condition in life.
As a dark black man who was a teenager in equally color conscious Charleston, SC in the 1980s when people forgot that black was beautiful, I can relate to much of this book. But since looks do not play as big a role in the life of adult men as it does women and having had a Dad who taught me black history at an early age and understanding the ignorance of the naysayers, I have moved on from this.
I do not fault Ms. Golden for the effects this has on the way she sees almost everything. people tend to respond to oppression and trauma in different ways. In fact, I think she is to be commended for articulating why it is so difficult for many Black people (especially those of her generation) to just "Get Over It." While I am more Bill Cosby than Micheal Eric Dyson and am against wails of self pity and "excusism," it is true that growing up being completely devalued as a human being since childhood can either make you sink or swim, and not all will swim.
One thing that took me for a loop in this book was her belief that while she felt Black men who dated white women were self-hating, it was okay for her to date the Frenchman Marc. While I personally consider interracial realtionships a non-issue, the hypocrisy in this makes me say WHAT?!
But that aside, this is a valuable addition to the discussion of how and why low-self esteem is as bad as it is in so much of Black America.
an important and accessible read.......2006-03-07
"Don't Play in the Sun" acknowledges colorism, an unfortunate form of discrimination that greatly affects the black community, as well as the psyche of other racial communities.
She takes the reader through her thoughts as a young child, giving accounts in which she witnessed colorism take place not only in her family, but that of her peers. During her college years, she remembers colorism was such a problem that the most staunch proponents of black pride (Black Panther men) were notorious for their relationships with white women (and if not with white women, then with light-skinned black women). She examines contemporary situations relative to her past, most notably discussions with her adult son who admits to being both a witness and perpetuator of colorism, and the obvious dominance of light-skinned beauty in the media.
She explores facing discrimination and stigma in every environment imaginable: public, private, family, domestic, and international. The exploration of different times and places where colorism occurs... perhaps this is what makes her book so powerful and unique. Having been able to travel to a variety of places and interact with many people, she comes to understand that colorism is a global phenomenon, sometimes in places you don't expect. Married to a Nigerian man, she lives in his country and idealizes a society free of the racial problems in the U.S., but soon discovers that conditions are just as bad - if not worse. This introduces the reader to the practice of skin bleaching that not only mars communities of African heritage, but also dark skinned populations in South and Southeast Asia. Connections between these hazardous products and U.S. cosmetic companies are revealed, which is an important detail that forces us to understand colorism as more than an "internal" problem. Her trip to Cuba is discussed, and she speaks upon the idealism and realities of its Socialist society.
Golden's writing is honest and very detailed, allowing the reader to understand interconnections and the sometimes subtle but important details that perpetuate colorism. For such a small and accessible book, "Don't Play in the Sun" speaks volumes.
Impressive.......2006-02-22
This book has made it on my list of must-reads for my children and must-haves in my library. It is a strikingly impressive work. As a middle-aged white man, I can only offer that I learned a lot about the author's culture (and was revealed a lot about mine) but put aside completely the topic of the book for a moment...it was one of the most beautifully written things I have ever read. I believe Marita Golden could write about the dynamics of drying paint and hold my undivided attention. Her skill as a writer alone makes the book a more than worthwhile read.
Book Description
The life story of Ishi, the last Yahi Indian, lone survivor of an exterminated tribe, is unique in the annals of North American anthropology. For more than forty years, Theodora Kroeber's biography has captivated readers. Now recent advances in technology make it possible to return to print the 1976 deluxe edition, filled with plates and historic photographs that enhance Ishi's story and bring it to life.
Ishi stumbled into the twentieth century on the morning of August 29, 1911, when, desperate with hunger and terrified of the white murderers of his family, he was found in the corral of a slaughter house near Oroville, California. Finally identified as a Yahi by an anthropologist, Ishi was brought to San Francisco by Professor T. T. Waterman and lived there the rest of his life under the care and protection of Alfred Kroeber and the staff of the University of California's Museum of Anthropology.
Karl Kroeber adds an informative tribute to the text, describing how the book came to be written and how Theodora Kroeber's approach to the project was a product of both her era and her special personal insight and empathy.

HUMANS-COME TOGETHER!.......2007-09-28
ALL humans can benefit from reading this fact based book. ISHI was a real MAN, and his humbleness and genuine qualities are what young people should strive to match!
Good Book, bad binding.......2007-07-23
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and the story of Ishi. However, the binding on the new paperback fell apart before I was half way through it.
very good.......2007-02-10
This book is very enjoyable, informative, and enlightening. If you are interested in Native Americans, this is a must read. It truly describes the last "Wild Indian" that was brought into modern society. It explains both the natural heritage of Ishi along with the typical exploration of finding the last "Wild Indian". Truly, a story that had to be told
An anthropologist on Mars.......2006-03-16
At the beginning of the 20th century a half-starved 50-year-old Indian was found in a remote farm in California. He was the last surving Yaki Indian. Before the arrival of white settlers there had been probably more than 2000 Indians of that tribe in the area. They were wiped out in less than 80 years by the diseases carried by europeans, the reduction of their natural environment and periodical retaliatory expeditions organized by band of vigilantes to revenge a stolen cow or horse or the killing of one white settler. The last surviving Yaki was lucky enough to be "adopted" by the curators of the Museum of Berkeley University. There the Indian lived happily for 5 years, working as janitor and a sort of living exhibit. The anthropologist studied him and his world, and he studied the world of whites, showing a remarkable degree of adaptability to modern American society. He was called Ishi (=man) by the staff of the museum because he always refused to say his own name. Loved by everybody and friend of everybody, he died of the tubercolosis that his natural defence did not recognize. The story was written 50 years after his death by the daughter of the museum's director through the notes of her father (she had never met Ishi). Even being a perfectly scientific book, it has the power of moving of a novel and contains a terrible caveat for the modern man.
The Story of a Man and an Epoch.......2006-01-24
This is a very important book and a very sad book. It tells an extraordinary story of a man who was last man of his tribe. It also an honest history of the white man's inhumanity to the red man in California during the second half of the ninetheenth Century.
The story is: Ishi hid in the mountains nearly all of his life. After his Yahi tribesmen died, he drifted into a small town. He was rescued by an anthropologist and lived the remainder of his short life on the grounds of a San Francisco museum.

Over the centuries, theories have abounded as to why human beings have a seemingly irrational attraction to God and religious experiences. In Why God Won't Go Away authors Andrew Newberg, M.D., Eugene D'Aquili, M.D., and Vince Rause offer a startlingly simple, yet scientifically plausible opinion: humans seek God because our brains are biologically programmed to do so.
Researchers Newberg and D'Aquili used high-tech imaging devices to peer into the brains of meditating Buddhists and Franciscan nuns. As the data and brain photographs flowed in, the researchers began to find solid evidence that the mystical experiences of the subjects "were not the result of some fabrication, or simple wishful thinking, but were associated instead with a series of observable neurological events," explains Newberg. "In other words, mystical experience is biologically, observably, and scientifically real.... Gradually, we shaped a hypothesis that suggests that spiritual experience, at its very root, is intimately interwoven with human biology." Lay readers should be warned that although the topic is fascinating, the writing is geared toward scientific documentation that defends the authors' hypothesis. For a more palatable discussion, seek out Deepak Chopra's How to Know God, in which he also explores this fascinating evidence of spiritual hard-wiring. --Gail Hudson
Book Description
Why have we humans always longed to connect with something larger than ourselves? Even today in our technologically advanced age, more than seventy percent of Americans claim to believe in God. Why, in short, won’t God go away? In this groundbreaking new book, researchers Andrew Newberg and Eugene d’Aquili offer an explanation that is at once profoundly simple and scientifically precise: The religious impulse is rooted in the biology of the brain.
In Why God Won’t Go Away, Newberg and d’Aquili document their pioneering explorations in the field of neurotheology, an emerging discipline dedicated to understanding the complex relationship between spirituality and the brain. Blending cutting-edge science with illuminating insights into the nature of consciousness and spirituality, they bridge faith and reason, mysticism and empirical data. The neurological basis of how the brain identifies the “real” is nothing short of miraculous. This fascinating, eye-opening book dares to explore both the miracle and the biology of our enduring relationship with God.

An interesting perspective on the neuroethology of religion.......2007-09-22
This book explores the relationship between the brain's functioning and religion and myth. The authors note that (page 8): "Gradually, we shaped a hypothesis that suggests that spiritual experience, at its very root, is intimately interwoven with human biology. That biology, in some way, compels the spiritual urge." In short (page 9), "We will examine the biological drive that compels us to make myths, and the neurological machinery that gives these myths shape and power."
In the study of evolution, one key question is: What is the survival value of a particular behavior? What is its advantage in natural selection? How does it enhance survival odds of individuals? This book, as others, suspects that the ability to hold religious values and myths, in fact, enhances survival value of individuals and even groups. The authors note (page 138): "Their religion would serve to strengthen bonds between individuals and to encourage more peaceful and productive interaction in the community at large. Stronger social groups, of course, would mean better lives for clan members, which might ultimately result in higher rates of survival as well."
The authors, including some well-respected researchers in brain structure and function, use standard neurophysiological technology to assess the brain's functioning with respect to religious behaviors. They report studies that suggest that certain brain areas are involved in religious-related behaviors.
The book also notes that the authors do not want to set up biology versus religion dichotomy. They observe that the fact that the brain is built to accept religious values and beliefs does not mean that religious beliefs are wrong. Simply, they assert that there is machinery in place for people to be predisposed toward accepting a belief in God, or some other deity/entity.
This is an intriguing book. Readers may respond very negatively or positively, based on their beliefs. But the argument in the book makes on think about important issues in humans' lives. If for no other reason, that makes this worthwhile reading.
The Mystical Origins of Religion........2006-11-25
_Why God Won't Go Away: Brain Science and the Biology of Belief_ by Andrew Newberg, M.D., Eugene d'Aquili, M.D., Ph.D., and Vince Rause is a fascinating look into the brain science which seeks to provide an understanding of mystical experience (i.e. the experience of God). While many of the publications of scientific writers are openly hostile to religion, this book takes a different approach to the subject and attempts to shed light on religion through science without demeaning it. As scientists, the authors of this book find it necessary to maintain a position of neutrality on the existence of God; however, they do note that religious experience may be hardwired into our brains. How this religious experience is subsequently interpreted then depends on the religious beliefs (or lack thereof) of the individual undergoing the experience (according to the authors, at least). Furthermore, the mere fact that religious belief may be hardwired into our brains says nothing about the existence of God. The religious believer need only argue that God constructed our brains so as to allow us to experience Him; while, the atheist may propose an evolutionary explanation for the origins of such experience. Thus, the question of the existence of God, really remains a question for metaphysics and not science (despite recent popularized scientific forays into the question of God's existence). Furthermore, as the authors point out, to understand the processes at work in our brain it is necessary to understand the relationship between our brains and our minds. This raises the age old philosophical conundrum of the "mind/body problem". One solution to this problem is that advocated by physicalists who reject the mental and maintain that the mind is exactly the brain. However, the authors of this book propose another solution to this problem that differs from both materialism (or really "physicalism") and dualism (cf. Cartesian dualism which separates mind from brain). They contend that "'mind' and `brain' are two views of the same reality - mind is how the brain experiences its own functioning, and brain provides the structure of mind." This solution is proposed as a working understanding of both "mind" and "brain" and as the appropriate understanding of the relationship between the two.
The authors begin this book by discussing an experiment conducted on a meditating Buddhist. When the individual in the experiment reaches the peak moment of his mediation, he pulls a string which will allow the researchers to view the bloodflow in his brain (using a SPECT camera) after the injection of a radioactive substance into his arm. Experiments such as this have shown a lack of activation of what the researchers have termed an orientation association area (OAA), which is theorized to be responsible for orienting the individual in physical space. However, in order to perform this orientation, the OAA must first draw a sharp distinction between self/not-self. What the researchers have found though, is that during the peak moments of meditative experience, the mediators appear to have reduced activity in this region, suggesting that the boundaries between "self" and "other" are blurred. This precisely corresponds to the language used by mediators and mystics from time immemorial. After completing this discussion of the experiment, the authors take us on a tour of the brain's machinery (which is responsible for producing our perceptual experiences). The authors also outline various autonomic states and spiritual experience, the emotional brain (the limbic system), and how the mind understands the world (cognitive functions). Following this, the authors provide an evolutionary understanding of the origin of myth-making, showing its universality and its roots in even the most primitive of human ancestors. (It should be noted that the use of the term "myth" as understood by the authors does not imply that it is a "falsehood" or "fabrication". Rather, the authors use "myth" in the original Greek sense of "mythos" (translated as "word") or "musteion" which means to "close the eyes or the mouth", rooting our understanding of the term "myth" in "an experience of darkness and silence".) The authors reference in particular the works of Swiss psychoanalyst Carl Jung and his protégé Joseph Campbell, and their theories regarding the universality of archetypes and the role of such archetypes in the formation of myths. The authors also discuss the role of ritual, showing its apparent evolutionary origins, as well as the role of ritual in inducing mystical states. The authors contend that the repetitive actions involved in ritual are likely to induce mystical states as well as strong emotions. The authors also relate ritual to the process of myth-making. The authors next discuss mysticism proper, arguing that mysticism (an often abused term) is not to be understood in terms of psychosis or mental imbalance. Indeed, the authors contend that spontaneous mystical experiences are common in the general population (perhaps as high as 35%), and that mystics differ from psychotics in that their experiences do not often lead to grandiosity and anxiety but rather to a sense of humility and well-being. The authors show how such experiences relate to neurobiology (and their research on meditators). Following this, the authors turn their attention to the origins of religion. Here, the authors show that religion is not being cast aside (as many 19th and early 20th century atheists contended that it would be), and they contend that the reason for this is because of spontaneous mystical experiences which lead the religious to seek God. The authors contend that the religious experience of the Absolute is felt to be something "realer than real" by those who experience it. Furthermore, the authors propose an interesting theory as to the origins of fanaticism (claiming that fundamentalists and fanatics may often experience the "Absolute" in such a manner that leads them to believe they have attained absolute truth and thus reject all other conflicting viewpoints). The book is perhaps weakest however when it contends that all religious experience is fundamentally the same and that all religions arise from this same experience. This seems reductionistic and overly-simplistic. While there is certainly much good done in the vast majority of the world's positive religions, there is little reason to assume that they all are rooted in the same experience. The authors end this book with a discussion of the coming role of "neurotheology" in helping mankind to make sense of his religious experience.
As a product of scientific research, this book is very interesting, in that it attempts to use the methods of science to shed light on religious experience. It is sure to offend many of those who rigorously maintain either that religion is false or that science can say nothing about religious experience. Nevertheless, it is important to note where science reaches its limits. It is at these limits where metaphysics takes over and science can no longer tell us anything more about the nature of the ultimate Reality.
Toward Bridging the Gap.......2006-08-04
This book is an excellent engagement of several critical and interesting issues on the nature of spiritual experience and accompanying belief systems. As scientists with apparently little earlier background in religion and spirituality, the authors do a good job in getting to the bottom of what inspires religious beliefs--ultimately, in their view, a profound "spiritual" experience had by mystics, shamans, and others from diverse cultures all over the globe. They explain the neurology of how this likely works, in understandable lay terms. Along with this is a studied attempt to set it all in an evolutionary context. Yet this does not lead them to eliminate the possibility of actual spiritual reality behind the biology and its evolution. This is a very helpful approach, as opposed to the absolutism and reductionism of a decreasing number, but still the strong majority of scientists.
As a serious, long-time student of religion, I found their attitude toward religious beliefs respectful and their analysis careful. Still, their approach is primarily scientific, and makes a contribution to our knowledge of the important biological processes assisting the development of religious beliefs. Their approach is not simplistic, and was I intrigued to see that at least Dr. Newberg (his co-author, Dr. D'Aquili, died prior to the book's completion) seemed to personally be opened, by his research, toward acceptance of spiritual experiences as perhaps genuine windows into a larger-than-material reality. Yet, he is careful to indicate where he is speculating versus where he is reporting solid science.
People who want only science, only hard data, or struggle intellectually with the increasingly common science-theology interface that this book indulges, will find reason to object. But this book makes a contribution to that body of literature, which continues to grow. These works, of which "Why God Won't Go Away" is a prime example, enlighten our understanding of what makes good sense and is pro-social and healthy in spirituality versus what is dysfunctional.
I greatly appreciated the final chapter, which has been and will be debated and objected to by some. In it, the authors make the solid point that science itself involves "a type of mythology, a collection of explanatory stories that resolve the mysteries of existence and help us cope with the challenges of life" (p. 170). Another way of saying what I think they mean is that everyone, including scientists, are "religious" in the broadest sense of the word.
The kind of work represented in this book helps foster clearer and deeper dialog between two realms which are often too rigidly set against one another. The authors caution against taking literally the "foundational assumptions" of either religion or science. "But if we understand the metaphorical nature of their insights, then their incompatibilities are reconciled, and each becomes more powerfully and transcendently real" (p. 171).
Why do people believe in God?.......2006-07-15
Who do people believe in God? Is it a phenomenon, a perceptual illusion of your brain or is God a real, quanitfiable entity?
Surprisingly, according to this book, the only difference between's one experience of "oneness" during prayer and one's experience of say, enjoying a concert, is merely in the different areas of the brain that are fired by the activity.
And what fires humans to experience spirituality? Not as theologeons but scientists, Drs Newberg, D'Aquili in collaboration with Vince Rause speak about what their clinical testing has shown on what they describe as the area of "neurotheology" or a scientific study of the basis of religious belief.
Not surprisingly, they are not the first scientists to attempt to rise to the occassion of answering this question.
However, they do distinguish themselves for having produced a particularly and democratically accessible easy to read book that briefly expounds their findings. And like any good book on religion, they also include guest appearances by great thinkers from history by quoting liberally from Albert Einstein, C.S. Lewis, Carl Sagan, Erwin Schroedinger not to mention leaders and founders of the world's constituted religions.
However, like any book on religion, it also biographically shows the conceit of its authors in the way that works on religion usually seem to do. Careful thinkers, the authors discuss "oneness"; they quote people who've experienced it; still the same, their ability to so casually dissemble the experience leaves you wondering whether they've actually ever felt it themselves.
It's not bad but it is different to merely discuss someone achieving "oneness" instead of ever doing it yourself.
Why God Wont Go Away.......2006-05-22
In this fascinating novel, Why God Won't Go Away, authors Andrew Newberg and Eugene D'Aquili document their explorations and experiments in order to connect the biology of the brain to the religious impulse or belief. Newberg and D'Aquili blend advance technology and science into the nature of consciousness and spirituality. The main question they face is why, with all this advanced technology, do people still continue to believe in a higher power? Throughout history many theories have been disproved by science except for one; the belief in God or a higher power.
Newberg and Eugene perform many neurological tests on people while meditating and they discover amazing results; the orientation part of the brain that is constantly working, even while sleeping, dramatically slows during meditation. Could this prove that people really can be in a state where they are in touch with god or is it merely a complete state of relaxation? This is just one of the questions the authors face throughout the novel. They also cover why the brain is compelled to make up myths. Humans want to have an explanation for everything to block out their own anxieties, therefore make up myths to explain experiences that our brains cannot make sense of. The authors also touch upon how the brain deciphers the difference between reality and fiction everyday.
The overall conclusion is humans want to feel connected with something more powerful than them. They want to feel protected and safe. God won't go away because science has proven that our minds are drawn by the intuition of deeper reality, a sense of oneness, where suffering vanishes and all desires are at peace. As long as our brains are arranged the way they are, as long as our minds are capable of sensing a deeper reality, spirituality will continue to shape the human experience, and the concept of god will not go away.
Newberg and D'Aquili do an excellent job of blending science and religion, two very different subjects. I thought this book was excellent and I highly recommend it.
