Kamau Bell from his new, Emmy-nominated hit show on CNN, \u003ci\u003eUnited Shades of America\u003c\/i\u003e. Or maybe you've read about him in the\u003ci\u003e New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, which called him \"the most promising new talent in political comedy in many years.\" Or maybe from \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, fawning over his brand of humor writing: \"Bell's gimmick is intersectional progressivism: he treats racial, gay, and women's issues as inseparable.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAfter all this love and praise, it's time for the next step: a book. \u003ci\u003eThe Awkward Thoughts of W. Kamau Bell\u003c\/i\u003e is a humorous, well-informed take on the world today, tackling a wide range of issues, such as race relations; fatherhood; the state of law enforcement today; comedians and superheroes; right-wing politics; left-wing politics; failure; his interracial marriage; white men; his up-bringing by very strong-willed, race-conscious, yet ideologically opposite parents; his early days struggling to find his comedic voice, then his later days struggling to find his comedic voice; why he never seemed to fit in with the Black comedy scene . . . or the white comedy scene; how he was a Black nerd way before that became a thing; how it took his wife and an East Bay lesbian to teach him that racism and sexism often walk hand in hand; and much, much more.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dutton","offers":[{"title":"Awkward Thoughts of W.
