A Chosen Exile: A History of Racial Passing in American Life | Allyson Hobbs

Readathon Update! I've read my issues of Wuthering Heights and The Man with the Twisted Lip. I read an ebook ...But I'm not a Racist and finally finished reading the book pictured above--the sections on Jean Toomer, Nella Larsen, and Langston Hughes were interesting. #24in48 #readathon
