It is normal for drivers to judge whether they can through a yellow light before it turns red.

A riveting memoir written in part in South Africa during apartheid and also part in the US. Wilderson really details the anti-apartheid movement, and how the radical (as always) ideas were sold out to mainstream economic viewpoints. He also writes about social issues in the US, being with white women and living as a black man in a racial society.
