Blinkered by white privilege, Aaron and Amelia, the couple at the center of Brian Platzer's Bed-Stuy Is Burning (Atria), naively imagine that sinking $ 1 million into a brownstone in this historically African-American neighborhood will make them part of the community. But when a 12-year-old black boy is killed by police, they quickly discover that Facebook activism and Twitter outrage toward racial injustice are very different from engaging with your fellow man under siege. Platzer's take on race, religion, class, and politics—all the subjects you're not supposed to discuss—is sure to get people talking.
