BECKY WITH THE GOOD HAIR

NOTE: This was once called Anaconda: White Girl Gone Black. The title has been changed.

The author is quoted as saying, "I take the lowest people on life's totem pole and show through ambition, drive, and determination they can become great. People have a tendency to write strippers as stereotypes or people without intelligence. I wanted to be the one that didn't."

Tiffany Paterson had a fascination with black culture, walking on the wild side and fame by any means necessary.

On the surface she was a Pulitzer Prize winning writer with a husband in the suburbs and six figure wealth. Under the surface she lusted for black men, always had to be the center of attention and chased the limelight.

One day she decides to go undercover for a year in an all black strip club and chronicle the events for her new book. Things take a change for the worst when she becomes emotionally attached to the dancers and develops an unhealthy relationship with the owner.

Will her infatuation with the owner of club Anaconda affect her marriage? How will the dancers in the black club view the only white dancer on the pole? What happens when she makes more money than them? What affect will the book have on her upper middle class family? Am I actually being taught about race in America in a book about a strip club? Who is Tiffany Paterson really?

These questions and more are answered in Becky with the Good Hair, a non – stereotypical look into the stripping game and a woman’s quest to find herself. A must read!!!
