	abstract = {"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{\textquoteright}s multigenerational transformation from what is called black to what is assumed to be white. Thomas Chatterton Williams, the son of a {\textquoteright}black{\textquoteright} father from the segregated South and a {\textquoteright}white{\textquoteright} mother from the West, spent his whole life believing the dictum that a single drop of {\textquoteright}black blood{\textquoteright} makes a person black. This was so fundamental to his self-conception that he{\textquoteright}d never rigorously reflected on its foundations {\textendash} but the shock of his experience as the black father of two extremely white-looking children led him to question these long-held convictions. {\textquoteright}It is not that I have come to believe that I am no longer black or that my daughter is white,{\textquoteright} Williams writes. {\textquoteright}It is that these categories cannot adequately capture either of us.{\textquoteright} Beautifully written and bound to upset received opinions on race, Self-Portrait in Black and White is an urgent work for our time."
