Contents Assimilation, whiteness, and realism -- To pass or not to pass? William Dean Howells's and Frances E.W. Harper's "not very black" women -- Race or nation? White ethnics upstream in the writing of Cautela, Cahan, D'Agostino, Lewisohn, and Ornitz -- "To rise above this absurd drama that others have staged" : race critique and genre in Chesnutt, Johnson, and Schuyler -- "As if I were dead" : passing into subjectivity in the writings of Ets, Antin, Yezierska, and Barolini -- Women "caught between two allegiances" : the drive toward modernism in Chesnutt, White, Fauset, and Larsen.
Summary "Explores the challenges of subjective passing narratives written during the height of literary realism. Discusses racial and ethnic differences, assimilation, passing, and identity by comparing African-American narratives of James Johnson, Nella Larson, and George Schuyler and 'white' ethnic (Jewish-American and Italian-American) narratives by Mary Antin, Anzia Yezierska, and Guido D'Agostino"--Provided by publisher.
