James Weldon Johnson, “The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man”

12,00

A powerful classic on race, identity, and the price of passing in early twentieth-century America

A groundbreaking early novel on race and identity in America. First published anonymously in 1912, this powerful narrative follows a gifted biracial man who decides to “pass” as white to escape racial violence—only to lose a vital part of himself. Blending fiction and memoir, James Weldon Johnson exposes the moral conflicts and emotional costs of racial passing in the early twentieth century.

This Intra edition restores the complete text of the 1912 original. A timeless reflection on art, freedom, and the price of self-denial—still urgent in today’s conversations about race and belonging.
