We Wear the Mask: 15 True Stories of Passing in America by

1.0

I thought it was interesting that the book does not focus solely on the topic of African-Americans passing as white. I think that was important to bring to the table in the discussion of race and how society disproportionately allows people to live their lives based on race. For example, the author, whose story comes first, discusses how his mother raised him to pass as Native American, although he was actually of Mexican descent.

On the other hand, though, I grew bored with the first story after a while. I have so many good books on my TBR list. If something does not hold my interest, I move on.
