| Abstract | Narrated by a man whose light skin enables him to "pass" for white, describes a journey through the strata of Black society-- from a cigar factory in Jacksonville to an elite gambling club in New York, from genteel aristocrats to the musicians who hammered out the rhythms of ragtime. A complex and moving look at what it meant to forge an identity in a culture that recognized nothing but color. |
