Description
Tells the stories of six present day "passers": a black screenwriter who passed as a white Jew, a white teacher who passed for black, a working-class Puerto Rican desktop publishing expert who passes for someone of more privileged background, a gay Conservative Jewish seminarian and a lesbian naval officer who passed for straight, and a poet who radically shifts his persona to write about rock 'n' roll. These and other stories from history explore passing and its consequences.
