Memoir of a Race Traitor

by Mab Segrest

Description

In this searing memoir, Mab Segrest recounts a life shaped by political conviction, community loyalty, and the painful reckoning that follows when ideology collides with conscience. Moving through formative years and pivotal relationships, the narrative traces how a “race traitor” identity emerges—not as a slogan, but as a lived, contested choice with real consequences. With clarity and moral urgency, the book explores themes of race, betrayal, solidarity, and the costs of speaking truth within movements that demand certainty. Segrest’s distinctive voice blends personal history with sharp cultural critique, offering readers an intimate account of what it means to change, to be changed, and to keep searching for justice when the ground beneath you shifts.
