In Full Color: Finding My Place in a Black and White World Rachel Dolezal

A lot of people have made up their minds about Rachel Dolezal. But none of them know her real story. In June 2015, the media outed Rachel Dolezal as a white woman who had knowingly been passing as Black. When asked if she were African American during an interview about the hate crimes directed at her and her family, she hesitated before ending the interview and walking away. Some interpreted her reluctance to respond and hasty departure as dishonesty, while others assumed she lacked a reasonable explanation for the almost unprecedented way she identified herself. What determines your race? Is it your DNA? The community in which you were raised? The way others see you or the way you see yourself? With In Full Color, Rachel Dolezal describes the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identifies as Black. Along the way, she recounts the deep emotional bond she formed with her four adopted Black siblings, the sense of belonging she felt while living in Black communities in Jackson, Mississippi, and Washington, DC, and the experiences that have shaped her along the way.

In Full Color Bewertungen

Finally, Rachel Dolezal in her own voice and words shares her intriguing account and path of conscious self-definition, embodied in a life of activism... Rachel forces us all to question what we have come to accept until now. --Bishop Clyde N.S. Ramalaine, author of Preach a Storm, Live a Tornado Rachel Dolezal's early life memoir is not simply a narrative of radical activism... It serves to critique the cultural straightjacket of traditionalist white 'Protestant work ethic' society. At this moment of alt-right reactionism, it punctures the fake nostalgia for an imagined pre-multiculturalism era of supposed purity and authenticity. --Gavin Lewis, Black British writer and academic
