Between the eighteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, countless African Americans passed as white, leaving behind families and friends, roots and community. It was, as Allyson Hobbs writes, a chosen exile, a separation from one racial identity and the leap into another. This revelatory history of passing explores the possibilities and challenges that racial indeterminacy presented to men and women living in a country obsessed with racial distinctions. It also tells a tale of loss. As racial relations in America have evolved so has the significance of passing. To pass as white in the antebellum South was to escape the shackles of slavery. After emancipation, many African Americans came to regard passing as a form of betrayal, a selling of one’s birthright. When the initially hopeful period of Reconstruction proved short-lived, passing became an opportunity to defy Jim Crow and strike out on one’s own. Although black Americans who adopted white identities reaped benefits of expanded opportunity and mobility, Hobbs helps us to recognize and understand the grief, loneliness, and isolation that accompanied—and often outweighed—these rewards. By the dawning of the civil rights era, more and more racially mixed Americans felt the loss of kin and community was too much to bear, that it was time to “pass out” and embrace a black identity. Although recent decades have witnessed an increasingly multiracial society and a growing acceptance of hybridity, the problem of race and identity remains at the center of public debate and emotionally fraught personal decisions.

The Passing of the Great Race Or the Racial Basis of European History was written by Madison Grant, American lawyer, eugenicist, and conservationist. During Grant's long career as a conservationist he was pivotal in protecting many different species of animals through his environmental and philanthropic organizations. A darker side to Grant's life and work was his belief in scientific racism and this book is an ode to those beliefs. The primary focus of the text is Grant's obsession with exploring European history through the lens of race instead the more frequent practice of discussing history via social groups based on common nationality and language. For Grant, "race implies heredity, and heredity implies all the moral, social, and intellectual characteristics and traits which are the springs of politics and government." To accept Grant's argument, one must believe there are inherent differences in individuals which stem primarily from the color of their skin, more so than their nation of origin or the culture from which they arise. A truly controversial stance, Grant argues his point to the final page of this lengthy and at times, hard to digest, text. The Passing of the Great Race Or the Racial Basis of European History offers insight into Madison Grant's life and personal beliefs, which echo the beliefs of many others during his lifetime. While more modern views would consider eugenics to be invalid; this book offers a glimpse of what eugenicist truly believed during their prime. This book may interest historians, sociologists, psychologists or individuals who are keenly intrigued by the life and beliefs of Madison Grant.
