520    "A meditation on race and identity from one of our most 
       provocative cultural critics. A reckoning with the way we 
       choose to see and define ourselves, Self-Portrait in Black
       and White is the searching story of one American family's 
       multigenerational transformation from what is called black
       to what is assumed to be white. Thomas Chatterton Williams,
       the son of a 'black' father from the segregated South and 
       a 'white' mother from the West, spent his whole life 
       believing the dictum that a single drop of 'black blood' 
       makes a person black. This was so fundamental to his self-
       conception that he'd never rigorously reflected on its 
       foundations -- but the shock of his experience as the 
       black father of two extremely white-looking children led 
       him to question these long-held convictions. 'It is not 
       that I have come to believe that I am no longer black or 
       that my daughter is white,' Williams writes. 'It is that 
       these categories cannot adequately capture either of us.' 
       Beautifully written and bound to upset received opinions 
       on race, Self-Portrait in Black and White is an urgent 
       work for our time"--|cProvided by publisher.
