White-to-Black: Racechange and Authenticity, from John Howard Griffin to Rachel Dolezal
Authors:
- Piotr Skurowski
Abstract
This article deals with the challenges posed by transgressing racial boundaries, where the perceptions and evaluations of such acts as "(in)authentic" provide a highly important dimension. Autobiographical texts by John Howard Griffin and grace Halsell are examined, in an effort to show the effect of the racial "passing" experience on subjectivity.
