Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man, Paperback / softback Book

Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Masked in the tradition of the literary confession as practiced by such writers as St.

Augustine and Rousseau, this "autobiography" purports to be the candid account of its narrator's private views and feelings as well as an acknowledgement of the central secret of his life: that though he lives as a white man, he is, by heritage and experience, an African American.

Tracing his journey from the South to the North and from America to Europe and back again, the narrator's first hand experiences on both sides of the colourline intimately demonstrates the qualities of race that are both established yet mutable.

An important exploration into identity and how to establish it, Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man is a timeless and vital novel.
