With contributors working in the fields of African American studies, American studies, cultural studies, film studies, literature, and media studies, this book offers a rich, interdisciplinary survey of critical approaches to a broad range of contemporary passing texts. Contributors frame recent passing texts with a wide array of cultural discourses, including immigration law, the Post-Soul Aesthetic, contemporary political satire, affirmative action, the paradoxes of \"colorblindness,\" and the rhetoric of \"post-racialism.\" Many explore whether \"one drop\" of blood still governs our sense of racial identity, or to what extent contemporary American culture allows for the racially indeterminate individual. Some essays open the scholarly conversation to focus on \"ethnic\" passers--individuals who complicate the traditional black-white binary--while others explore the slippage between traditional racial passing and related forms of racial performance, including blackface minstrelsy and racial masquerade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julie Cary Nerad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1438452276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781438452272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.33h x 6.12w x 0.92d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2015 pg. 1300","brand":"Julie Cary Nerad","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072958492927,"sku":"9781438452272","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_42ff9816-7ac5-4e1a-8682-fb468902e9ec.jpg?v=1685444954","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/passing-interest-julie-cary-nerad-9781438452272","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
