The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man

Title: The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man

Author: James Weldon Johnson

Summary: A man tries life under two identities, that of an African-American and that as a White. This tale leads us through the experiences which finally leads him to choose life as a white man.

Recommendation: Yes. This book brings up interesting ideas and points,
especially for those interested in the experience of African-Americans in
America. However, it only scratches at these ideas. There is not much depth
and little is thought provoking.

Hearts: 2
