A Chosen Exile: A History of Racial Passing in American Life
A Chosen Exile A History of Racial Passing in American Life
Author: Allyson Hobbs
Countless African Americans have passed as white, leaving behind families and friends, roots and communities. It was, as Allyson Hobbs writes, a chosen exile. This history of passing explores the possibilities, challenges, and losses that racial indeterminacy presented to men and women living in a country obsessed with racial distinctions.
