Question: Does your race form your identity? Race does form the identity of a person. It really does matter whether you are Negro, white or any other race. During the late 1900s the race that really matter were the Negros. If you were a Negro (not necessarily looking like one) you were automatically considered bad.

the rest for a particular difference. That difference could be anything, such as eye color, weight, income, ethnicity, race, gender, and the list could go on forever.

The mosting interesting and exhaustive article on the matter was Elizabeth Abel's 'Black Writing, White Reading". This article focused on the racial ambiguity between Twyla and Roberta. Abel argues for the Blackness of Roberta using the historical context of the text and her response to social markers. In contrast to this, Abel uses that arguments of the Black feminist critic who introduced her to “Recitatif”, Lula Fragd, to rebuttal those who may claim that Roberta is in fact the Black one. Another…
