Description: "By pulling together analyses of race/gender/nation/sexuality 'passing, ' and taking up extended treatments of a range of texts, "Passing and the Fictions of Identity" makes an important statement about U. S. identity formation."--Dana Nelson, University of Kentucky
Review Quotes: "Passing and the Fictions of Identity is timely in its interrogation of the construction of racial identity, sophisticated in its uses of contemporary theoretical formulations, and insightful in its analysis of provocative, often relatively little discussed novels, memoirs, and textual moments which explore the crossing of racial boundaries."--Michael Awkward, University of Michigan
