Self-Portrait in Black and White: Unlearning Race is a 2019 book by Thomas Chatterton Williams.

[10] Williams appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher on October 18, 2019 to promote the book.

[11] Andrew Solomon praised the book in The New York Times, writing, "He is so honest and fresh in his observations, so skillful at blending his own story with larger principles, that it is hard not to admire him.

At a time of increasing division, his philosophizing evinces an underlying generosity.

He reaches both ways across the aisle of racism, arguing above all for reciprocity, and in doing so begins to theorize the temperate peace of which all humanity is sorely in need.
