Just Call Me Whitey is set in a half-forgotten America at the cusp of tectonic national-and generational-changes that still deeply resonate. It reveals a time and place when America was only first emerging from its sordid history of bigotry and hate, where a black man could not become President of the United States and was routinely denied even society's most common conveniences such as the use of a lunch counter or a public drinking fountain.
