More about the book
"A man whose light skin enables him to 'pass' for white, describes a journey through the strata of Black society -- from a cigar factory in Jacksonville to an elite gambling club in New York, from genteel aristocrats to the musicians who hammered out the rhythms of ragtime. The autobiography of an ex-colored man is a complex and moving look at what it meant to forge an identity in a culture that recognized nothing but color."--
