One of the most prominent African-Americans of his time, James Weldon Johnson(1871-1938)was a successful lawyer, educator, social reformer, songwriter and critic. But it was as a poet and novelist that he achieved lasting fame.
Among his most famous works, The Autobiogrphy of An Ex-colored Man in many ways parallels Johnson's own remarkable life.First published in 1912, the novel relates, through an anonymous narrator, events in the life of an American of mixed ethnicity whose exceptional abilities and ambiguous appearance allow him unusual social mobility-from the rural South to the urban North and eventually to Europe.
Remarkable novel relates, through an anonymous narrator, events in the life of an American of mixed ethnicity whose exceptional abilities allow him to move freely in society—from the rural South to the urban North and eventually, Europe. A revolutionary work which not only probes the psychological aspects of "passing for white" but also examines the American caste and class system.
