Sinopsis

2013 Reprint of 1912 Edition. Full facsimile of the original text, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 'The Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man' by James Weldon Johnson is the fictional telling of the story of a young biracial man, referred to only as the 'Ex-Colored Man', living in post Reconstruction era America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The Ex-Colored Man was forced to choose between embracing his black heritage and culture by expressing himself through the African-American musical genre ragtime, or by 'passing' and living obscurely as a mediocre middle-class white man. Though the title suggests otherwise, the book is not an autobiography but a novel. However, the book is based on the lives of people Johnson knew and from events in his own life. Johnson?s text is an example of a 'roman à clef.'
