Berkley I have a confession: I am not a fan of the passing trope. From Nella Larsen s 1929 classic, Passing, to the original Imitation of Life (the 1934 movie starred the incomparable Fredi Washington as Peola, the little girl who wanted to be white) to Britt Bennett s 2020 novel The Vanishing Half, the notion of a Black person posing as white to escape her Blackness just felt . tired. Deep down, all Black people want to be white. I heard that in a social psychology class, repeated as if it were a truism. It s not. At several points in childhood and as an adult, I ve loved the notion of being rich, but being white? I cannot imagine it. I wouldn t be me.
