Representations of passing enabled Americans to express anxieties about who they were and who they imagined their neighbours to be. By showing how pervasive the anxiety about passing was, this work broadens the literature on passing in a fundamental way. It also opens up important counter-narratives about postwar America and how the language of identity developed in this critical period of American history.
