hi. please help me make a bibliography about passing & the politics related to it. passing of any sort. fiction, biographies, histories, theory, everything. not just good things, things that suck too. even if you think i've read it, write it down anyway so i can compile a thorough list.

okay thanks.

Hey, I don't have a LJ but I follow some sites (including yours) due to diaryland connections - mine's brownstargrl.diaryland.com.
I'd check Nannygoat/Trannygoat zine by Roisin O'Conner, if you can find it- they included a lot of writing about race and gdenr passing and intersections between. Also check Michelle Cliff's writing, especially No Telephone to Heaven and Free Enterprise. She a light-skinned Jamaican dyke who writes extensively about mestizo stuff and the choices her racially ambiguous fam makes when they immgirate to the States and London. Probably also Aurora Levins Morales in Remedios, Maragartia Alacantra Tan's writng in various Bamboo Girls, and writing in Carol Camper's anthology, Micegination Blues: voices of mixed-race women (Sister Vision Press). Maria Root is a mixed Hawai'ian therapist who's written all these psychological/progessioanl-type writings on mixed-race identity formation, if you want soemthing all psych/soc and legit.
