I believe that it is possible for a person of one race to write effectivley about another. However, I believe that it can only be doen whent he author has done a great deal of research, observation, and personal experience with the subject matter they plan to write about. Further, I believe, as a reader, it is easier to trust a book if the author is actually the race that the book is based on. Nevertheless, it is important that we as readers and critics of literary work research the authors of the books we read before we read them as an informational and accurate text. I believe that it is possible for a writer to wirte about whatever they choose whether that subject matter is within their personal heritage, culture, race, or religion.
