Description
This Tenth Anniversary Edition of Who Is Black? brings the story up to date with an epilogue that highlights recent challenges to the one-drop rule. F. James Davis examines revealing responses to his work and explores the multiracial identity movement, as well as changes in census classification of racial and ethnic groups.
Originally published in 1991, Who Is Black? has become a staple in college classrooms throughout the United States, helping students understand this nation's history of miscegenation. This reprinted edition helps to shed new light on the ongoing impact of the "one-drop rule" on American society.
With its thought-provoking analysis and timely updates, Who Is Black? remains an important work for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of racial identity in America.
