Why--in our "color-blind" or "post-racial" moment--is passing still of such literary and cultural interest? To answer this question, chapters in this book focus on a range of passing practices, performances and texts that are part of the emerging genre of what we call neo-passing narratives. Neo-passing narratives are contemporary narratives that depict someone being taken for an identity other than what s/he is considered really to be. That these texts are written, constructed, or produced at a time when passing should have passed reveals that the questions passing raises--questions about how identity is performed and contested in relation to social norms--are just as relevant now as they were at the turn of the twentieth century"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Passing (Identity) in literature. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Race identity. 650 0 $a Race awareness $z United States. 650 0 $a African Americans in literature. 650 0 $a Race in literature. 650 7 $a African Americans in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799727 650 7 $a African Americans $x Race identity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799666 650 7 $a Passing (Identity) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01054419 650 7 $a Race awareness. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086455 650 7 $a Race in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01086506 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Godfrey, Mollie, $d 1979- $e editor. 700 1 $a Young, Vershawn Ashanti, $e editor. 700 1 $a Wald, Gayle, $d 1965- $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Elam, Michele, $e writer of afterword. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20190402014332.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116030354.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=AA8E9530580511E8A8F83C5097128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
